Inside Voice vs. Outside Voice

Private citizens do legally own things like grenade launchers and full auto weapons with no problems at all.

We're talking about weapons utilized for personal defense here. I don't believe that an offensive weapon like a WMD falls under that particular umbrella.

I think all weapons are "offensive." That's the whole point of a weapon. All weapons can also be used in self-defense. That applies even to WMD's which are used in self-defence as a deterrent.

My point is that everybody draws a line somewhere. For you, Wolf, the line is drawn somewhere between WMDs and grenade launchers. I personally would draw the line between handguns and single shot rifles, banning concealable handguns but allowing the rifles. Mr. Noodle seems to be saying that there should be no line at all.
