What civilians should have access to are small arms, basically anything that's carried and used by your hands (I would exempt things like rocket launchers, grenades, miniguns, etc)That's what I meant, yeah. I don't really trust your average Joe and Jane with a nuclear warhead or a tank. I think explosives should be legal, but explosives meant to harm people (grenades) is not what I envision either. Automatic weapons are iffy to me. A lot, a lot of regulation for them is good. Outright banning them is scary to me, especially since the military has them, but I don't think your average Joe should have them.. not a good thing. Background checks for sure.

I don't have either open carry or concealed carry, but I fully approve of pistols. I genuinely feel safer when someone has a pistol on them.
