"...not meant to be taken as a desire to ban any firearm from civilian ownership"
I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "available" is.
To me, wishing something was "not available" means "ban it" to most people.
If you see this as backing away from my original comment, then, I guess it is. I’m capable of admitting my original post was not as well thought out as I could have made it.
Well, at least you're honest.
I’m also able to admit when I’m wrong on an issue.
