Given the Points as you Mention, -I Agree a "Firearmed" Spud / Potato Gun is Not a Good Idea!

But in a True Emergency Teotwawki Situation, and the Like, -Where there just Effectively or Actually may Not *be* Federal Law!, -Then the Use of Such for Proper Survival and Self Defense / Other's Defense, of Purposes, -May be a Thing to Properly Consider. I Meant it in Only Such an Extenuateing Situation and Way.

It might be Nice if some Firearms, Etc. Laws were Lighter and Looser! But Many are Not. And that's What we Have to Live With and Abide By.

I'm a Middle of the Roader on Gun Control and Other Gun Issues, I'd say. It's Not a Central Issue of which I Revolve About, and I'm Certainly Less Than Fully Knowledgeable, on Much of this All Round Issue.

However, to say just One Thing, -I Do Feel that the More Crime Ridden or Otherwise Unstable or Teotwawki Things Generally may Become!, the More the Citizenry is Gonna Need and Want it's Basic Firearm Protection!

I've Always Liked a Pro-Gun Saying!, -"When Guns are Outlawed, -Only Outlaws will Have Guns!" And the Commercial which Shows the Crook at Home!, -Laughing!, -as he Watches the TV Commercial Politician Pledgeing "To Break the Back of Crime!", *Via* Gun Control!

Please!, -Don't Just Forget these Two Golden Gems!, in the Event that Anyone Has! Bring Them Back! They're Great Debateing Points or Feathers in our Cap! I Hate it When a Good Track or Thing is just Somehow Turned Off Of!

But Otherwise, as you Say, -They, Spud Guns, are Out of Consideration Due to Present Law. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]OldBaldGuy[/email]
