Message | If an individual has the right to own a weapon then that individual should have the freedom to own whatever weapon they can afford. Those with a violent past have paid their penance to society and if they are now judged fit to walk our streets then they should have the same rights as anyone else. Thsoe with dangerous mental illnesses are not allowed on the streets anyway so that clause is nurgatory. If people are to carry weapons everyone else should be able to see they are doing so, this will lead to less 'accidents'. |

Message | A 'right' is still a 'right', the size of the weapon makes no difference if you accept there is a 'right' to own it. Otherwise it would be like saying you have the 'right' to worship whatever deity you please as long as it is not also woshipped by more than 1billion people! |
