Guilty until proven innocent?Sawed off shotgun not illegal? I share your point of view and that was what I was referring to is illegal ownership. This is the same as the term "illegal alien" that used to get SPIKE all riled up. It is just a term. I personally do not see a weapon, in itself, as illegal. But a thug on the corner of a well known drug area with a pistol grip sticking out of his britches, I see as illegal until proven otherwise.
