I understand what you mean, but where are there a clear principles that justifies these laws, many of which are unreasonable?

Also, I can legally own and drive a car that accelerates faster than 0-60 in 3 seconds and has a top speed of 140 mph, I just can’t legally exceed 70 mph on the highway. It’s how it’s used, not what it’s capable of that counts. Same for chemicals or dangerous animals.

A significant percentage of violent crimes, to include murder, are alcohol related, yet you are legally allowed to get rip roaring drunk. Being personally responsible for actions is the key point.

You could make an argument for unacceptable risk to the public at large, which in theory make a lot of sense especially since a good community is arguably more important to individual safety than a firearm. However, governments almost always get carried away when you open that door and you end up with a 17 year old girl being charged for fending off a rapist with pepper spray (true story).

Do you have a tiger in your backyard? If so, you may be the most interesting guy on this thread. 😼

No, they are allowed to.

CCL may be a no-no, but certainly having one stored safely for a bump in the night
 
I mean, I haven’t looked lately. Grab your pith helmet and let’s go take a look.
 
You first, soldier. I’ve got you covered.

I thought was because the Marines went in first and made sure that things were safe for the Army. 😏
 
Are you volunteering? The Old Colonel loves volunteers.

As you can see Marines are clearly capable of wrangling overgrown kitties. 😎

I remember “Operation Backwards Tiger.” It didn’t turn out very well.
 
One job I could see a 3" cylindered Taurus Judge doing… snake charmer.
 
We weren’t retreating, our mounts were just advancing in a different direction.
 
Yeah, because I do not want the government regulating my rifle, suddenly people are going to set up booby traps. The nutjobs probably already do regardless of laws. No matter, this is a slippery slope argument and therefore fallacious.

Our real dispute seems to be a difference of opinion regarding the purpose of law.
 
Based on the scenery and the image of the cat that looks to be a jaguar.

silencers do not eliminate the noise it just reduces it. it is still at a level above the normal range. you still need ear protection

My understanding is silencers were best utilized at the shooting range, where you are firing the gun many times and the extra weight is not really a hindrance.

Hunters will only fire their gun without hearing protection a couple times a year (hopefully they are not missing or having to take multiple shots very frequently)
