There are also a number of unlawful acceleration laws on the books, so there may be laws broken simply from rapid acceleration.

I had a friend that just purchased a SCAR 17S for $2100, does he "need" it? No. Is it his right to own it lawfully? Yes

To the bold, that wasn't the issue. The issue was the legality of it based off form and function. Form and function of a sports car is to go fast. You said you can't legally do that... but you can. Form and function of an assault rifle is to kill things quickly. Outside of mice and maybe squirrels, there's not much you can kill in large volume without breaking a law.

And if you're going to kill mice with an assault rifle, you're probably an idiot.

As far as your friend... and? The issue isn't if it is legal, it's if it should be legal. Because while your friend is legal to have it, so is a terrorist. Why? Because until he uses it, he's not a terrorist, he's just a legal gun owner. And there's no way to separate the two until one is misused.

When I was a kid (granted, this was the late 80s, early 90s), I might have known a couple guys who might have made things that blew up, and those guys might have thrown them in the nearby lake, in gravel pits and other places in rural western Kentucky. Nobody got hurt and it was a lot of fun. Should we deregulate homemade explosives since some kids from Kentucky used them 25ish years ago and no one got injured? They weren't always illegal, so should we go back to that?
