That 'reason' article is typically rightwing biased. It makes some dubious claims, such as "Yet politicians who want to ban these rifles insist they are good for nothing but mass murder." Certainly some say that, but also certainly, not all. That kind of generalizing is toxic.



... "That reality helps explain the wide divergence in estimates of defensive gun uses. The self-reports of gun owners may not be entirely reliable, since they could be exaggerated, mistaken, or dishonest."

"May not be..."? LOL. Extreme right-wingers are increasingly lying and electing shameless, vicious liars who double down on their lies and create absurd euphemisms such as 'alternative facts' in a truly Orwellian haze.

Hey, if we legalize claymore mines hand grenades there will be 'lawful uses" for them as well.

Dog pooping on yer lawn? Hand grenade!

Stranger knocking? "You've triggered a heat sensor that will detonate in 10, 9, 8...." Perfect defensive use!

Bass pros can have grenade fishing competitions to legitimatize private ownership..

Oh, the possibilities .... Reality TV calls!
