On Weapons

Setting limits or requiring registration or licensure is not "punishment". It is simply saying in a now very populated and complex society, having access to something very dangerous means we set some requirements or limits. That is not punishment. It simply means we live in a world with other people and some of us are stupid, incompetent, irrational or just plain dangerous. I don't want people having access to certain things, as my experience has taught me many people are just too stupid or irrational to have access to a car, antibiotics, pets and herbicides or legal alcohol. Why would I want the same people, who often delusionally believe in an afterlife and a nonexistent 2000 yr old legendary god,  not to have limits placed upon the weapons they can possess?
