This weapon used was created for the US Special Forces. How in the world do we justify handing out this out to civilians? The ONLY people who need this would be the military. It's not that it looks scary - it's deadly. This is a weapon designed to kill people.
Gun Review: SIG SAUER MCX - The Truth About Guns
I honestly don't care. Statistics tell me I am most likely die falling down the stairs in my house. I have a higher chance of being electrocuted in my tub than I do being the victim of a mass shooting (and I don't take baths). I own assault rifles myself. I just don't see the need why anyone would need something like this. |
I agree, no one "needs" a gun like that... but maybe the owner feels safer owning one, maybe he derives pleasure from going to a gun range and shooting it, maybe his cock grows 2 inches when he shows it off to his friends, etc... who are we to judge?
is it really any different from an owner of a 800hp supercar that goes from 0-60 in 2 seconds and reaches 200mph? Does he "need" a car like that? Isn't it likely (I mean actually 100% certain) that he will drive it recklessly putting everyone at risk?
