i consider there are actually four classes of people that have weapons in the united states:
criminals, law abiding citizens, police, military.
now, we know that criminals will get any type of weapon that they want, but how often will they be using these kinds of weapons? for bank robberies? they definitely would not invade your house with an uzi. that's why i don't see any reason for law abiding citizens to have these kinds of weapons.
What kind of twisted, drug induced logic is this????
---Criminals will get weapons, no matter how banned they are.
---But criminals will not use them against law abiding citizens (even though they do every day)
---Even if they do, they wont use scary looking weapons, so we should ban those.
---Therefore law abiding citizens don't need scary looking weapons.
Huh?
As for an Uzi, do you even know what it is? In it's previously legal form, it's simply an
oversized semi-automatic pistol that shoots the same bullets as any other 9mm semi-auto. It was banned because it looks scary, nothing more. Mechanically it is no different than a Beretta or SW.
It has NEVER been legal as a fully auto weapon in the US.
Maybe you should learn about guns before you advocate bans on them.
