hoyt: I could live with that. Also require concealed handguns to weigh 47 pounds or more. That would cut down toting too.

Ha, they could flare a steel shroud about the handgun & use it as a bulletproof shield. (Did I just foresee the home handgun of the future?)

Sorry, too many gun nuts get all precise with their gun nomenclature.

Yeah I can see how I got a bit too gunny with it, only wanted to explain how compensators were needed for the larger caliber rifles with recoil, and were NOT needed for the ar15 due it's lighter bullet - the bullet which is ultimately more lethal than almost all other bullets on a 'lethality' percentage.
I thought of an analogy last night waiting to fall asleep. A fire hose from a water hydrant would knock a lot of people back & down if they turned it on, like the large caliber rifles, while a backyard water hose from your house would barely cause a wrist flick, like the ar15.

That's why I support banning -- or at least severely limiting -- all semi-autos, including handguns.

I'm with you on the top, but realistically handguns cannot be banned due heller & mcdonald, tho some handguns need be banned, uzi I think is one; I do oppose shall issue concealed carry for everyone, it just emboldens potential criminals posing as law abiding citizens.
I also support child access prevention laws, one gun per month laws (aka 12 guns per year). I even still support trigger lock laws.
.. You know nra opposes one gun per month laws as an infringement on 2ndA & bill of rights. Almost all other countries in the world might see a 'one gun per month law' - realistically a '12 gun per year law' - as either something to be INCLUDED in their bill of rights, or dismissed as totally too draconian.

Well in closing I'll say I view this group as friendly territory, & members as some sort of e-team, teamwork; of course disagreements & misunderstandings will occur, which arise from undetected rw trolls & fake democrats filtering in, so until we get to know who's who some misunderstandings might occur. Glad to have things cleared up, hoyt. I've seen several of your posts prior so knew you were actually on my side, whether you liked it or not!
