And while the military folks might be trained to use machine guns and anti-tank weapons... surprise surprise... they don't take them home with them at night.
Which of course raises the issue of training and discipline.
Shouldn't ordinary citisens be expected to be disciplined and trained to the same level as law enforcement and military?
I get your point.
I don't have any issue with law abiding licensed ownership of 30 round mags or grandpas old Tommy gun but your comparison is a bit off.  |
No, I was speaking of being on duty. I don't know of anyone being allowed to walk around with a few 18 rnd. glock mags on their belt. I also believe that the average enthusiast uses their equipment quite a bit more often than some law enforcement, who drag it out to qualify and put it away again.
