It's just that some people want the best of the best; who are we to tell them they cannot have it if they follow the laws.

People WANT cars that can drive 160 MPH and they WANT guns that can shoot how many bullets per second with X amount of velocity and so on and so forth and car and gun manufacturers and lawmakers make $$$ when they give people what they want.  I worked with a guy who bought a magnum for home protection.  I pointed out that firing a gun with that much power in the dark in a house with his wife and kids might cause more trouble than it prevents, but the dude wants the ability to turn someone into gory paste so that's what he's going to get.

I'm an admitted cynic, but I have to say when it comes to people WANTING risk the issue seems to be those who are unrealistic about the consequences or don't think of them.
