The intimidating factor is in my opinion, the reason why anyone would want to place more control laws on guns. People who don't know guns. Like yourself, who's only ammunition is assumptions. You see, no sir, my buddy's kids rifle will not accept a "clip" (magazine) that will hold 50 rounds. But it will send that projectile down range for miles if it goes unobstructed, and it will accept rounds that will "rip through steel", as will any other high caliber rifle. On the other hand, the good people that I know who use there "military" weapons as hunting tools, well, there's will accept the large capacity magazines, I've never seen one for 50 rounds, just 30. Although I'm sure they have them. As I stated in my previous post, they are necessary for what they are being used for. As far as comparing this to hunting and fishing, well that's like comparing oil and water......but I'll give my opinion on it anyway. In a very very small way I do feel like my rights are violated in order to be forced to purchase a hunting and fishing license. Although, we are still protected with the right to forage and gather food. On the other hand, I support and fully understand what the department of natural resources does for the state of Georgia, through stocking programs, wildlife management, conservation and so on. Some of my license cost goes to those guys and funds the programs that make it possible for me to enjoy the woods and water as much as I do.
