I've also heard people say, well, no-one needs a rifle or handgun like X, or that can do Y... Yeah, well, no-one really needs a stamp collection, or 3 sets of golf clubs, or a car that can go 100mph in 3rd gear... But the great thing about this country is that we are (supposedly) free to pursue our own happiness. I remember reading that somewhere...
About the only thing I agree with the gun-grabbers on is teflon coated ammunition - the kind designed specifically to defeat all kinds of body armor. No real need for that. Even if an attacker is wearing body armor, I intend to put enough rounds into them to knock them down, then go for a head shot anyway... ;-)
And that is the crux of the divide and conquer strategy. A great many people are willing to say, “no real need for that”.
Even though your post may be sarcastic, you seem to have fallen for the anti gunners propaganda on this one point.
Teflon coated bullets were *not* designed to defeat body armor. Rather to better penetrate auto glass and other barriers, especially at shallow angles. The Teflon is strictly to reduce barrel wear, the brass core does the penetrating. For something designed to penetrate body armor, look up the "cyclone round" as used by the BAFTE, FBI and others looking to protect us from the Eviil assault rifles and other arms.
