142. I'll field that one.
McFeeb's law is a response to the continued use of the WMD straw man when discussing small arms. I don't have a link to the original thread but it went something like this:


The final refuge of the gun grabber. Nukes. I think we need something like Godwin's Law with regard to nukes in gun control arguments. We can call it McFeeb's Law.

If you want to limit the 2nd amendment, I'll be more than happy to compromise with you. We'll ban nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Man portable and squad portable small arms will be unregulated. What should we do with artillery pieces and high explosives? Maybe have a background check requirement before someone can buy them. I don't think that's particularly fair, but I'm willing to compromise.


As for the rest, I'm not really interested in debating the grammar of one sentence.
