I'd like to see a copy of that ad. As far as
"high volume of firepower" goes wouldn't that work to the advantage of
a person defending himself against a mob, such as in a riot or after a natural
disaster such as a hurricane? Wouldn't that be legitimate self-defense activity?
The government buys firearms on the basis of their putting out a "high
volume of firepower", does that make the government a criminal
organization?
