It seems to me that regulations that keep criminals from easy access to fully automatic firearms is a good thing.
And with this, the reason our rights have been slowly stripped away is evident.
So, you want criminals to have easy access to fully automatic firearms???
I think the point is that criminals, by definition, don't care about what is legal or not; law-abiding citizens, however, do. Therefore laws intended to stop criminals from "easy access to <fill in the blank>" only stop us from defending ourselves.
You'll note that drug dealers and thugs get what they want when they want it, while we get jerked around by gov't bureaucrats enforcing laws that are "just intended to protect us" (from ourselves apparently).
Therefore, such laws in fact suppress us from our natural right to self-preservation and create a target-rich environment for criminals.
