    Have I landed on a different planet here or something???
    Just go back and read post #5...the statement was not as broad and sweeping as the knee-jerk reactions have made it out to be.

    What is the protocol for obtaining silencers and what justification must be shown? I liked the "indoor firing range" justification.
    I'v never owned one, or used one, but I understand that accuracy suffers with a silencer, so why bother with the range?

    Exactly. And that's my point. There are idiots who carry guns just to show them off and be macho (see Arenas, Gilbert) and also redneck gun-owners, and thus AlaskaBear's characterization in this regard in post #5 isn't completely illegitimate and invalid as the hue and cry that followed it would suggest.

    Difference

    I own guns and most people don't even know it. Like someone said I hope I never have to use one.

    But trying to equate someone who brings guns into an arena and is now in trouble for multiple gun violations with NRA members or hunters is just plain silly.

    But dragging the race card into the discussion, now that was unexpected

    Sigh. We're done here, folks. This is why we closed the policy board.
