Not what I would have expected
You had me at Machine gun . . . no problem.
KDT spells out his views on which gun controls he finds appropriate:
Individual rights are always subject to infringement when the exercise thereof, taken to the extreme, may cause harm to the society at large. We are individuals, but we are also members of a society, and of a nation. When the collective welfare is threatened by an individual’s extreme exercise of their rights, the People have every reason to circumscribe that right.
I don’t know that I disagree with it.

Sad but true, some folks have no business owning a gun.

When the collective welfare is threatened by an individual’s “extreme” exercise of their rights, go ring the bell in the village square. Sadly, some people ring it at the slightest provocation. Although the number of ringers may be small, when you keep up a steady din, by working rotating shifts, your squeeky wheel will get greased by the local politicos.
