Hey,
I am with you. Everyone has the right to own weapons. The constitution doesn't say I can't own a bazooka, morter shells, and plastic explosives. I have the right to defend myself as I see fit. If everyone in the inner city was forced to own a high powered machine gun and at least one Bazooka, we would have the inner city cleaned up in no time.

And if the government starts to legislate to take my right to own a bazooka - or just little bitty hand grenades - then the next thing they will be after are my automatic rifles. And everyone knows that an automatic rifle is the only thing stopping the communist hordes coming down from Canada.

You had to go back two-plus years and all the way to Spitsbergen, to make a point about "wild animals" and firing in "self-defense".

Pitifully weak. Extremely weak. Take a look at the map and find Spitsbergen. It's those islands off Norway near the North Pole! And even there (!) you can't just "shoot one" for the hell of it.

My grandfather was in Denver in the 1890's but he left for Idaho. I suggest you leave too. The 1890's that is!
