Ok, let me get this straight....I can carry my .45 ACP with a 50 rd drum magazine open or concealed where i live but I can't carry a switchblade knife.....and I can't carry either across a river down the road where I'm more likely to need them....
I can buy a Thompson .45 "pistol" with no stock and a 9in barrel and 100rd drum magazine and carry it legally with just a driver's license but the same gun with a stock and a 10in barrel and 20rd mag I need expensive special licensing because its a "short barreled rifle" and either one, still can't have across the river.......
I can have ISIS flags all over my house but no confederate flags........
I can carry a 20in Bowie knife with a fixed blade in a sheath where everyone can see it but a 3in automatic knife that police, EMS, and firemen carry in their pocket legally is no good.......
I can buy a sniper rifle that I can hit a shotgun shell at 800yrds every time I feel like it with a driver's license and 1200.00 but a full auto Mac 11 that I cant hit a barn with at 25yrds with costs upward of 7000.00 BEFORE transfer fees, federal taxes, etc is forbidden........
I can fire my 20in .300 Winchester Magnum all day long deafening my neighbors and making them very angry at me legally but if I fab a silencer for my .22 single shot, I'm a common criminal....unless, of course, I pay the transfer fees, taxes and the cost of a 400.00 piece of tubing....
I have to cover a tattoo of a topless girl on my arm before I enter my workplace or get fired immediately but pictures of girl employees making out with their girlfriends/wives or male employees with their boyfriends/husbands is just fine and dandy......
sorry, I'm ranting.....
