But there are already no end of restrictions on what kind of weapons one can own and use, so we’re really not talking about either end of the spectrum.
You cannot own an RPG or a small tactical nuclear weapon or a bouncing betty or a cluster bomb for personal security and we really aren’t talking about banning pens and pencils because somebody could stab you in the neck with either and render you dead.
So the question is … what give … what possible actions could we take in the one hundred yards between end zones that might constitute a sweet spot between maximally reducing gun violence and minimally infringing on ‘liberties.’
Which, ISTM, is what @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness is/was aiming for in their gun thread.
