So you want Congress to regulate machine guns, but you also want to allow anyone and everyone, including ex-felons, to be able to build as many as they want.

Now where did I say that? You figure you might win one if you get to argue both sides?

Then, once we have a half-million or so unlicensed, unregistered homemade machine guns with no serial number floating around the states, if they cross state lines, then we'll prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Right?

How about prosecuting them to the fullest extend of the law if they get used for a criminal act?

Question. How will you know that an unregistered machine gun with no serial number actually crossed a state line?

You won't. If you find one still in the state it was manufactured in you still wouldn't know. The only way you can know for sure is to monitor every single item you're trying to regulate from the time it's manufactured until it is destroyed.

"Tee-hee, tee-hee, robertpaulsen -- we wouldn't! Oh my. Now how did that happen?"

You know what I do hate? With a passion? Posters who take me for a fool. Do you take me for a fool, tacticalogic?

I take you for a current or former bureaucrat who's used to being able to tell other people how they must do things that you don't have a clue how to do yourself.
