Sigh.  You haven't followed the conversation have you?  I have a 12 gauge
and a rifle.  I used to have an assortment of handguns.  I've been trained
by a police officer and a marine sniper.  I have a sword, to boot (and yes,
trained in that, too, rather good in fact).

I haven't advocated the outlawing of guns, handgun or otherwise (though I'm
willing to discuss it).

This was about the law.  It was quoted by the other fellow.  It backed up
what I had to say.  If you feel the law is misleading or should be changed,
I can respect that and discuss it on that basis.  But I can see where this
is going: you are reading many things into this that I have not said.
Simply put: you do not have carte blanche to shoot unknown people in your
home.  That's it!  The quoted law agreed with that assessment.
