[frog in a pot]

From the article:
The gun looks like a military rifle, and the immediate reaction from many people is: "Why would you need a gun like the kind soldiers are carrying?"

A very easy and very pertinent question the author fails to address.

And this jewel of fuzzy thinking from the comments:
“No one wants to take any guns away from anyone. This one needs to go away.”

I think if one took the time to look they would find that Americans have ALWAYS owned the same kind of guns that their soldiers used when they were available to them. And if guns that were SUPERIOR to the ones used by the military, they owned those too.
