Reply #55: Every tool that can be reasonably used for mayhem

[shadowrider]

Guns aren't singled out for regulation. Every tool that can reasonably used for mayhem is also regulated. Why? Because it is impossible to determine who will do what in advance, we have no Minority Report, so regulations are designed to limit mayhem as much as possible.

screwdrivers? baseball bats? tire irons? a roll of quarters wrapped in a sock? Any of these can be reasonably used for mayhem, yet they aren't regulated.

My gun just sits there and doesn't bother anyone. Someone must pick it up and MUST pull the trigger for any mayhem to ensue. It's the person, not the tool. Your opinion differs, no harm, no foul.
