I'm sure cops ethnically profile in every country where they can. Still. Approaching a suspected carjacker with your gun drawn must be something distinctly American.

A lot of American cops, like a lot of Americans, are gun crazy and I say that as a person who is fine with people owning firearms. (though not assault rifles. no need for civilians to have those. also need tighter regulations)

No, actually, it's good that they have started taking rape seriously and changed the law to reflect that. :)

A gun with selective-fire that shoots rounds stronger than a pistol but not as strong as weapons that are considered battle rifles. They're also magazine fed. And they sort of pointless for people to own.

Most guns are magazine fed. There's little difference in the mechanism of hunting rifle's internal magazine and military rifle's mag, it's just a spring, a follower, and some metal enclosing it.The actual point is that "assault rifles" have detachable magazines for quick reloading and can hold more ammunition because they're not beset from the form factor of rifle. Hypothetically, an detachable magazine could have infinite rounds if you could find a spring strong enough to deal with that many rounds in that length. Realistically, it's around thirty cartridges, due to reliability and tactical necessity.

There are much better ways to advocate for 2nd amendment rights without being a dick about it. It's the firearms equivalent of being a ICP fan.

I view it like the sexual identity subject. I really don't care if you are carrying a firearm concealed (legally) and I do not care if you identify as something you were not born as. I do however, think you are a raging rear end in a top hat if your goal is to have that part of your life advertised on 10 volume and get upset when others are disgruntled at your asshattery.

I am an equal opportunity hater of attention whoring.

It's largely because those guns are both super-expensive and super-heavy. Even a single-shot .50 caliber BMG rifle weighs something close to 30 pounds. And you aren't going to be seeing someone ducking and weaving like Micah with one, either, since the recoil prohibits firing from anything other than a prone or braced position.

Also, the ammunition is expensive and can run into legal issues. Just Googling prices, a box of 10 .50 BMG bullets costs as much as 100 5.56mm NATO or 7.62mm M43/AK rounds. And don't even think about getting the cool stuff like Raufoss incendiary-explosive rounds.

Yes I am. I am also aware that there have been attempts by companies to make it harder to convert a gun like a civilian model AR-15 into something other than a semiautomatic weapon. Still is dangerous and can accommodate a high capacity magazine. And I'm also aware capacity laws vary by state, but that's neither here nor there. Tighter regulations wouldn't hurt and they could probably step up what was included in the 94 ban.
