Small arms.

It’s that simple, man. Get a clue. Anything that is issued to the basic army infantryman should be available to any citizen no questions asked. That means pistols, M16s with 3 round burst, grenades, submachineguns, etc, and no mag capacity limits.

Long range sniper rifles, recoiless rifles, shoulder fired rockets, heavy turret mounted machineguns and anti material guns would represent a grey area.

Obviously, anyone with half a brain would recognize that the average citizen should not be able to walk into a hardware store and purchase weapons of mass destruction. That is a no brainer. DUH!

Incredible.

It’s not me you have to convince. I think you did a pretty good job of delineating.

Read the whole thread and you’ll see its fruitcakes like the author of the article and William Tell and Tpaine that you have to convince.

What you are saying is EXACTLY where I have BEEN trying to get too all along.

Long range sniper rifles

You mean, like a Remington 700 bolt action?

You didn't list weapons of mass destruction, but I assure you that one can indeed walk into a hardware store and buy them. You listed what are basically small arms, which have specific and limited capability.
