Any question beginning with "so...", and seeming to attempt to ascertain what the questioner believes to be a ridiculous opinion on the part of another, is an attempt to set up a "straw man".

I am always disappointed when someone does that to me, and try to stop myself when tempted to do it to another.

In the meantime, when presented with such a "straw man", I carefully check my premises and answer as truthfully as I can.

Pursuant thereto:

I do not find the prohibition of ownership of a nuclear-tipped ICBM to be Constitutional. If you can build it, or buy it, keep it on your property and use it as much within the law as you would a pistol-- or a tank--, be my guest.

Thank you, and good night.

So much for thought-provoking and persuasive dialog....

I do respect your position, but I disagree in certain aspects. Persuade me otherwise, or agree to disagree, I am reasonable and tend to offer position statements based on long thought out understanding of the facts in context.

Best Regards and Molon Labe!!!
