Why no gun control?
 

Why are we selling uzis at all?

good question

I like how you are trying to draw MW out of hiding. This topic might just work.

Darn you!! You take the rest of that post out right now!!! Gee whiz!

Nah. Now this thread has 2 things MW loves. It strokes his ego and it talks about gun control.

On a more serious note. There is no need to have an uzi. Home protection is better served with a 9m, and last I checked people don't hunt with an uzi.

I KNOW that, but you can't explicitly call him out! That'll never work!

There is no reason for an 8 year old to be handling any kind of weapon other than a BB gun.

Mass. needs to change it's law.

I cannot think of a single purpose for this weapon other than to kill a lot of people in a short timespan. I also cannot think of any argument that could defend the possession of this type of firearm as protected by the 2nd amendment.

I don't have any desire to own an uzi. But I don't believe in not allowing others to own one if they want one.

Could you please elaborate a bit on this statement?

Are you saying that if a group of gang-bangers started attacking your home you would be better off with a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pisotol as opposed to a 9mm fully automatic Uzi? Do you think this due to issues of placement and control with the Uzi or do you think it's because the rapid rate of fire would cause you to waste ammo?

A 9MM would put a bigger hole in an intruder. That's why I prefer it to an Uzi.
