Reply #65: I'm going to go ahead and make my irrelevant sound off

I hunt with muzzleloaders, and have a cabinet full of them. It's a skill to learn to load and fire, and a chore to clean up and maintain, but a hell of a lot more fun than point and pull. And I also feel like a more responsible hunter because i only have one shot, and not a clip.
Within reason, I think there should be no registration for bolt action rifles, and rifles of standard caliber with less than a five or seven round clip: those are pure hunting rifles - they could be used for crime, but you can't mow down a crowd or hide them in a trenchcoat.
but on the other hand,
handguns and assault weapons only have one purpose: to hunt other humans - therefore, if you intend to own one, you should be registered.

my opinion post election, however, is that everyone in the US should own one firearm, it is the last barrier between us and the littlefuehrer's pungent brand of fascism.
