Why does anybody in America need a gun that can shoot and blow away dozens of people in only 30 seconds?
Why does the government need equipment that can shoot and blow away thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of it's own Citizens in only 30 seconds?
It's simply amazing that you don't see the dichotomy in your own argument.
P.S. - There are still people running those tanks, jets, and flame throwers. It doesn't seem to worry you that those people might go nuts at any time and they've got more guns and equipment than anybody.
