I know! its the price of flexing our "rights" which already have been guaranteed in the Constitution. Every decade or so the ring around those who legally and ethically exercise these rights becomes tighter. Rather than punishing the few who act in an insane manner, our nation seeks to tighten the laws and not allow law abiding and commonsensical folk to engage in the legal aspects of gun ownership, even if it is with automatic weapons.

As a fighter pilot we watched spineless commanders enact new decrees when something went amiss. Rather than taking the stiff path of punishing the one, they made new regulations for everyone feeling righteous in the exercise of their authority and "compassionate" in their "care for their charges". We used to say, "One a$$-h*!e s#!ts his pants and we all have to wear diapers (nappies).
