I agree with ya, but it would seem that there are some folks out there that have a lot of trouble telling a gun from a tool.

They put Bernard Gets (sp?) away for carrying a screw diver in the subway and that was long before any of this terrorist and do gooder feel good legislation came out.

Seriously though, I seem to be having trouble finding out what regulations apply to my "tools" .
Some do take a cartridge and use an explosion to fire a projectile.
Ramset, nail " gun" , Pasload. How long till these things are "registered" or other wise controlled.
Can I be charged with having a "tool" in my work vehicle during with other tools during a routine stop? It is sorta scary to me the direction peoples perceptions are headed.

Mark my words we are within 6 months of now we will hear of a workmen being shot or arrested by authorities because some " concerned citizen" heard the sound of "gun shots" in a neighboring room or building. It will turn out he was just doing his job, but the new make every loud noise a national emergency policy will surely backfire.
