    I think we basically need to take all of our gun laws totally back to the drawing board and start fresh. They’re full of all kinds of goofy definitions and loopholes.

    One of my favorites is that, for the most part, muzzleloaders are not considered firearms. Literally the kinds of weapons we had around when the 2nd amendment was penned, and we count them in a different category that the weapons people bend over backwards trying to defend based on their definition of the 2nd amendment.

    Don’t anyone get me wrong, I’m overall mostly pro-gun, wouldn’t describe myself as a fundementalist exactly, but while there’s a lot of gun control measures I’d like to see implemented or expanded there’s also plenty of others I’d like to see rolled back to various degrees. Mostly though, what I want is for our laws to make sense, and a lot of them really don’t.
