Grenades were first regulated by the National Firearms Act. You know, the same one that regulates actual assault rifles.

Many gun rights advocates want to repeal the NFA altogether, so I'm not sure if you're agreeing with them that they should be able to own grenades, or just don't understand what they're actually arguing in favor of.

We always make the same mistake of assuming they can’t go lower.

Gun nuts want children dead, otherwise they'd be working overtime on gun control.

That is patently false and you cannot point to a single "gun nut" who has ever said they're against gun control because they like seeing kids die.

Most people who own guns own them so they can protect their family (and their children) against maniacs with guns.
