>How far do you want to go? P90s? RPGs? Stinger missiles?
Silencers/supressors are currently banned in the US (requires a tax stamp and long waiting period) but legal in other highly restrictive countries like England/UK. They're basically mufflers for guns and not like in the movies. Short barreled rifles would be nice too; we have those now but it's a "technicality," where anyone who owns them for recreational shooting can, on a whim of a bureaucrat, become a felon sentenced to decades of prison. That's not how a free society based on laws should work. Pot falls under the same category. It's still not legal at the federal level and if the DEA decides it wants to start raiding people's homes looking for pot, it certainly can, and people can be prosecuted for it.
>What would the societal benefit be there?
We're a society of individuals, not a society of Borg. Freedoms of the individual are the greatest benefit a society can have.
It's sad that the extent of your dialog is just name calling. Perhaps you should look in the mirror when you do it, just to make sure you aren't projecting.
Here's the summary: you asked a question, I answered, you went into a mindless rant and starting name calling. I'll bet you even started to type "LINO" then thought better of it. I don't even know what your position is, your dialog was so thin. Maybe take a deep breath and take time to collect your thoughts. Who's the one suffering fools again?
To what end?
That's not a rhetorical question. How far do you want to go? P90s? RPGs? Stinger missiles?
What would the societal benefit be there?
