Do you know why the British went to Concord in the first place? They went to disarm the populace.

I agree, come and get them. I recall the retort to this was, how can you stand up to a government with military weapons with your puny handguns. I retorted, why would you want a government that would use them on you.

The other retort is that 7mm mag and 30-06 have better range than M-16's and cop popguns.
