I just wanted to get your respective
"take(s)" on the so-called "nefarious weapon(s) of the ne'er do well.." Myself I've owned ( and carried ) much of what I mentioned.
Never had a problem with the cops
( In West Haven & New Haven,Ct. they were astonished at the various kriss blade stilettoes, push daggers & my other "toys"; the thing that seemed to alarm them the most was my pistol with 3 spare mags & the permit to carry the same! Go figure.) I do not see these as "rogues weapons"; that's being iconoclastic with regards to what the bad guy's carrying & NOT the bad guy him -or- herself. I also have the same opinion of the Federal Switchblade Act of 1958, which outlawed switchblades but NOT criminal offender(s). The same holds true with the Assault Weapons Ban. Hell,
maybe you cut down a crooks firepower at BEST, but they'll always have the damn things anyway.
So gang, post and/or "flame" away, but if you want my two copper coins (Luke 21:1-2) I don't see a damn thing in Our Constituition about what "arms" you can & cannot own.
The State's have taken the 14th Amendment & used it to abridge & make a mockery of Our beloved Constituition. Anyone for suing the States for seditious libel?
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet,
as to be purchased at the price of chains & slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not course others may take, but as for me, give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH!"
