iPhones actually have a use, and you can't kill someone with an iPhone (at least, not without a helluva lot of work). If no-one is shooting anyone with them, and they can't be hunting and you sure as hell don't need an AR-15 for personal defense, then why are Americans wasting all their money? Your assertion would be valid if people bought iPhones, but then there were no records of anyone actually using the things. |
iPhones are (probably) used in far more crimes, especially drug crimes, than assault rifles are ...
Most people who own these kinds of weapons own them simply for their personal enjoyment and (at most) would use them on a shooting range of some sort. Certainly there are many more guns that meet the needs for any practical use of these weapons, but there are many phones that would meet the practical needs of the iPhone user; and there are many cars that meet the needs of the typical sports car/SUV owner.
Why should the rights of one law abiding group be infringed upon in a misguided attempt to prevent criminals from committing crimes with illegally obtained weapons?
