 Wherever you draw that line, proliferation of gun ownership makes the line more extreme. Here in UK a cricket bat will do, as the ruffians won't have guns. If they did have guns I'd want a machine gun, if they had machine guns I'd want (whatever comes next, chlorine gas?), etc, etc, etc

 Good thoughts. The ruffians here usually have machine guns, so many of us also want machine guns.

 It's metal, plastic and/or wood.  I'm not bothering to justify the form it's in.  It's property.  If I've harmed no one, I should be allowed to own any piece of property..... and I will own said property.  even if it resides at the bottom of a lake near where I fish.
