Can we assume then that when you left your (alleged) law enforcement job, you turned in all your guns and no longer have one?

I don't think that's relevant. Personally, I no longer own any firearms but that's a matter of a personal moral choice. That doesn't mean that a person who owns guns is disqualified from commenting on their grotesquely easy availability or the perverted justification for it.

Indeed. I own ~10 guns, but none are semi-automatics. In fact, when I deer hunt with a firearm (I mostly bowhunt), I now only use a muzzleloader. I like the idea of one clean, well-placed shot at modest range as opposed to spray-and-pray.

Depends.

As long as one is willing to live by the same rules that they want to impose on others I'm OK with it. But not if it's "Do as I say, not as I do". I just have a suspicion that Zeke feels entitled to have less restrictions on himself than he would like to see on the rest of us.

At the least, custodianship should be screened for responsibility as with fully automatic firearms.

Speaking of some folks being a danger to the public welfare, I watched an episode of Vice TV on HBO last night.

Possible but you really can't infer that from the post you responded to.

I don't like Zeke either but hey, a stopped clock..... you know.

Anyone else see the irony in the fact? The very same ones who feel owning a gun is their God given right. No restriction needed. But are yelling the loudest at the possibility of Iran getting a nuke.

The same logic would seem to fit, would it not?

It does.

And why shouldn't Iran want to arm itself, considering it's next door neighbor Iraq was the victim of a bloody home invasion?

I see that Zeke is dodging my question.

Could it be that he knows that any mental health professional would, upon examination of a sample of his posts on this forum, be able to quickly determine that he has neither the emotional stability nor maturity to be in possession of any weapon, let along a firearm?

[Zeke]

Or, you know, I don't concern myself with irrelevant arguments.

But hey, if you wish to keep whining, I've soared through more polygraphs, backgrounds and psyche evals than you could possibly imagine.

Hell, at this point I'm surprised nobody's asked you about me. They asked everyone else...
