#2 Mandatory means you are forced to give up your gun. Isn't that a bit unconstitutional?

#3 These are old weapons that some middle-aged guy found in his basement.

Wellshitgoddamm, just the other week I went downstairs for the backup roll of paper towels and found an assault rifle shotgun with a high capacity tactical optic bayonet lug. Must have got in through the window well.

Criminals aren't going to trade in their trade tools; they will turn in other peoples' firearms. And set your martini down buttercup, because criminals use thug guns when hunting scrilla, no matter how much Bushmaster makes your cocktail dribble.

Nice capital M on Mandatory, really makes your ass show, but other than the excellant example of lazy parlor writing, there is no call to disarm criminals, in fact let them be them, but to disarm or criminalize those who follow the law.

And what is the right occupation? How about Guard of the Family? Put the iTingle down and step away from your boyfriends sipping coffee and come wrestle this 80lb dog of muscle who occasions our path. Citizen Patrol/First Responder? I am at 50/50 was a drug deal going on next to the school - what if that had gone bad or dipstick was short so robbed a kid. Cashier? The out of town crazy dude who forced himself into my business after hours during z-out who wanted to buy a butterfly net. In January.

I live in a great town. One week I noticed one of our then resident meth heads at nearly the same spot at the same time for the week, he would call somebody every time someone passed him on the way to work or whereever. Sure enough, stuff started getting stolen in daylight, so don't bring that capital M to my dinner table buck-o.
