jgcoastie pretty much summed up my feelings, Colvin; your attempts to sound "sane" sounded more to me like throwing other gun enthusiasts under the bus.
I may not practice Open Carry (except in great outdoors settings, assuming it's legal), but I endorse the rights of others to do so. I may not have any interest in jumping through the hoops required to get any NFA or full-auto gear, but I endorse the rights of others to do so.
Arguments such as you made help the antis to divide and conquer, and provide them with ammo. "See, even a (self-professed) gun rights guy agrees that we need controls on these things!"
