    Because everyone who needs - really needs - one, will have it issued by the employer. Speaking as former infantry, if your employer does not give you a pistol, you do not need a pistol. If you insist on having a pistol when you do not need a pistol, your problem is more personal than gun laws. Simple-as.

    If Americans invade, I have a rock. They’ll bring the gun to me. They’ll probably leave it somewhere, actually, while re-tying their flourescent Nikes.

      If the US invades, a little hand gun isn’t going to help at all.

      Hunting rifles would be much better for long range sniping. I’d rather have a shotgun if it’s closer combat. We can get those easily (all things considered).

        And an FN-P90 without the muzzle extension is also much more appropriate in an urban-warfare situation than any handgun.

        150 rounds in 50-round magazines and in-stock storage for two magazines, UN ammunition that has limited range to avoid secondary fatalities, extremely short bullpup length for tight environments, two-handed use so it isn’t easily ripped from your grasp… the list goes on and on.
