I always find the machine guns comical (from experience in NYC). Are terrorists really scared of those big guns? No 'terrorist' has EVER been confronted directly in a first world nation with a fully automatic machine gun to my knowledge, let alone been killed by one.

Bomb sniffer dogs, undercover cops, xray and metal detecting machines, and random searches all seem FAR more effective. Every dollar spent on heavy weapons is a dollar not spent on other forms of protection.

One 2 occasions I have had assault rifles pointed directly at my head, once in Prague airport and once on an Armenian highway. Both times I was extremely intimidated and frightened.
