    I mean, it's not illegal to modify your own hardware now is it?

    Where have you been the last four years?

    yeah, it's a shame that Americans are such pussies.

    whenever some regulation comes out e.g. mentally unbalanced people not allowed to buy grenade launchers, they bitch till blue in the face about how it's their right to own them and they need them to protect their rights.

    well put up or shut up. your rights are being taken away bit by bit and you're all to chicken-shit to do anything about it.

    seems to confirm the theory that you only want guns cos you have small dicks and couldn't care less about rights.
