Strange Famous, I don't know why you even engaged in this mental masturbation. About once a week, someone (usually from within a particular crowd) posts this type of thread so the usual suspects can beat their heads against the wall.
Anyway, I quoted the portion above because I have considered whether we actually can ban the mass production of guns. AFAIK, the US Constitution allows ownership, not production.
One rebuttal might be that restrictions on production would be de facto ownership restriction. However, one could envision a law that allowed production for personal use, while still outlawing mass production (from corporations, etc.).
Well, commense rubbing everyone, I guess--just hope you don't gum up your keyboards
