i cant understand why would anyone other than military (even that for a deterrent maybe) would want a machine gun where every bullet can kill and u can fire so many bullets every second.
The US Constitution makes it clear that the people and the military are not on the same page. The US people is supposed to have access to all the weapons that the military has... According to the old law.
This is a cultural consequence of achieving independence from an oppressor. People who desire control of others will always organize, oppress and build militaries. They invade, so peace is not an option with this personality type. Hence why seemingly normal people can buy machine guns. - There are predators around.
The difference in the US is that the default is you can unless you have a good reason not too.
I recall reading there has never been a crime committed with a legally owned machine gun in the US”. I think that changed a while ago when some criminal murdered someone, but do you believe banning everyone from owning something that had been used in a crime once?
That seems very paternalistic. Which is a fine stance. It’s just not the one the US adheres too.
'I don't like a society where people can and do buy machine guns' is a pretty obvious shorthand for 'I don't like American gun culture'.
And a lot of people feel very strongly, in both directions, about the consequences of American gun culture.
