A little simplistic.

We all believe in the right to bear arms around here.

But do you have a right to keep a Tiger Tank in your garage or a nuclear warhead in your basement?

An anaconda is an apex predator which could easily escape an enclosure and threaten just about anything it comes into contact with.

No one should keep such animals as pets.

If you can afford any of these items, sure. I'd have a Tiger Tank if I could afford it. Considering that there are less than 10 in the world in decent shape and only 1 or 2 are actually in running condition, that would be a hefty price tag.

“An anaconda is an apex predator which could easily escape an enclosure and threaten just about anything it comes into contact with.”

Sounds like a great reality show.

The second you add exceptions to your right, you have effectively created a loophole to lose that right.

Think that’s “simplistic”?

We have the right to keep and bear arms.*

*Unless it has “too many bullets”, it’s black, the stock is shaped a certain way, the barrel is “too long”, etc, etc, etc.

No one should have such weapons as personal arms.

Should they?

Then the same needs to be applied to cats and dogs. Both of which are far more dangerous to people than any pet snakes.

And it’s shameful that you’d use the anti’s stance on firearms in this discussion.
