I considered whether addressing Jim's "banned" statement was worth it, as any mention of the full compliment of the arms in private hands brings out the "need" question almost immediately.

But, even for those who own Title II arms, "need" isn't any part of following the process of registering an NFA weapon. Are you advocating a new standard to those already existing for Title II arms?

If we were to discuss the right to arms as secured under the 2nd Amendment (as I discussed in my first post) the only "need" discussion I would be willing to engage in is whether the government can constitutionally sustain any claim to "need" to control the personal arms of the private citizen.

I pretty much agree with the following . . .

  • "It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error." -- Justice Robert H. Jackson



You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.
