hrdwareguy, no offense taken.
Thanks for the clarification. I'd rather be enlightened than promote misconceptions.
I am aware there exists legal provision for the purchase and posession of class 3 items. My use of the term "rare" was intended to address an assumption many people have that such items are easy to obtain. They aren't. I think that's a point you were also making with your prior thread.
In fairness I was writing to respond to someone who is sincerely "anti-gun." In my experience, when you encumber your basic thesis with technicalities that neither strengthen nor weaken your position, you will often "lose your audience." Perhaps your experience is different, but I have had discussions with several "anit-gun" people and their eyes just glaze over when I quote even basic statistical information to them. I get farther by sticking to my premise and elaborate on the details individually during the course of discussion.
In any case I don't understand how your statements refute any of the points I was making.
