What harm is there in me owning a Thomas Sub machine gun? Or even a tank?
It's not an issue for public concern except when a lot of people organize guns and tanks collectively.
With one individual who cares. But if you are talking about organizing arms, then people start to care.
What? Who are you talking about? Who exactly are your worried about? You worried about militias?
I'm saying what makes people nervous about anyone owning tanks, AK47 and automatic rifles, etc. is
when these are in "large numbers." So that's when they start screaming against "rights" to buy and bear arms.
What makes people calm down about guns is when they know the owners are as responsible
and well-trained as Police and Military who are professional about law enforcement. If more
citizens were like that, there would not be an issue with fear of criminals abusing the gun laws.
If we do a better job of screening out criminally and mentally ill threats to society, there won't
be such a hub-bub over gun laws. The focus would be on maintaining law, order and security first.
Any policy or use of guns to achieve that goal of safety and security would follow second.
We just have to meet in agreement on the goal, and these issues will no longer be such a hot issue!
