The ownership of heavy weapons seems to vary from state to state. I do not oppose the ownership of firearms, but I do believe in control the type, availability, and the qualification for a citizen to bear arms. This idea that you should be able to buy a gun and ammunition just because you are old enough, has had its day.
The problem with the NRA's policy is that they are simply too paranoid to believe any limitation on the ownership of what they think constitutes a "firearm," can be taken out of their hands. Consequently, they use their voting block to legitimize their paranoia.
Some years ago their Florida members held so much political power that they had the law change to allow anyone to carry a firearm in public. The state went off it rocker, with people walking the streets armed like Western desperadoes from 1878.
The law had to be repealed before things got ugly. Its a perfect example of why the NRA are a bunch children, and it led to, guess what? Answer: Gun Control, and the police did not go around disarming gun owners, the way the paranoid NRA predicted.
So Panther, when you say God Bless the NRA, does that mean you believe in the God of Abraham with whom God spoke in the form of a burning bush? That would put you in league with Light Boy and Gandalf.
True, Full "Open Carry" is banned in Florida, & only SIX (6) other US States, & Full "Open Carry" is restricted, but allowed, in 8 others......leaving 36 States that allow FULL OPEN CARRY.
Actually, Open Carry is might be permitted in Florida, but only in very 'tight' circumstances:
Quote:Open carry when on foot in a public area is generally illegal, but is permitted in certain circumstances, as defined by Florida statute 790.25(3). For example, open carry is permitted while hunting, fishing, camping, gun shows, or while shooting, and while going to and from such activities.
➤ As far as God Bless the NRA......Choose any God you personally prefer & or subscribe to, personally, I leave my request open to any & all those within listening/viewing range....
