Captaincrunch summed it up pretty good.
- It's a light weapon and it really is a point and shoot. It's not a traditional assault rifle that will spray all over the damn map, but it's relatively easy to control. Very easy to modify too, and they look awesome.
- "Protection". People think they can protect their homes with it in case of invasion, and they look awesome.
- They look bloody sweet. I've handled a few of them and I gotta tell you, you feel like ####ing Rambo holding them. I also had two glocks and you do feel awesome. I almost understand to a point where mass shooters get their rush from. Holding those things makes you feel like Hulk. Did I mention they look awesome?
I go back to my point earlier in this thread that the only argument for gun nuts is that they like guns ( hunting rifle or shotgun notwithstanding). There is no rational argument for having an AR-15, and UZI or high capacity hand guns in a civilian population, especially one like the USA.
