Sure, this one is a bit less cumbersome than a C7, but nothing stops someone from hacking off a few inches of barrel or spending a few minutes to change stocks. Even at 30" OAL, you're not concealing much if you put it under a coat. The rifle that was stolen is no more dangerous or scary than the vast majority of commercially available rifles.

So to be clear, you don't think that a weapon, any weapon, "disappearing" into unknown hands is "scary"?

I sure as #### do.

Listen, I love shooting. I have shot a lot of different weapons. I have seen the damage that these types of weapons do to the human body first hand and up close.

The possibility that some idiot is walking around with this weapon is "scary".

The commerically availible rifles are obtained via legal means, and sold (or should be) to competent law abiding weapon owners. This weapon is god knows where.

Whiteout, I don't think I have been clear. Sorry. It is not the weapon per se that scares me. It is the situation, the disappearance of the weapon that scares me.
