If you had *any* idea about the sheer amount of paperwork and fees and unbelievable legal hassles it takes to purchase and keep any class III firearm - \'full auto\'  or \'select fire\'  for the folks who know nothing about firearms - you wouldn\'t be worried too much at all about a bunch of legal gun owners. The costs are seriously high to play in that particular area.  Now, you may think their politics are really stupid, especially the apparent Nazi lovefest items, or the boneheaded racist paraphernalia... But instead of demonizing these folks, why don\'t you try to understand where they are coming from? I don\'t agree with them, but they\'re people just like you and I. A lot of the Nazi trash is souvenirs that their dads and grand-dads got back in WWII. I have an Imperial Japanese flag signed by the men who captured it. I show it  to anyone who understands what it is... Does that make me a supporter of the folks who  brought us the Bataan death-march? The right wing-nuts do have their \'echo-chamber\' sites, and this site is just as much an "echo-chamber" as one of theirs, even if it leans a different direction...</div>\
