THE DAILY FUDD: E66 (EXTRA): "All this effort for things these civilians aren't even close to having training to employ -- CA ban cheat."

Think of all the time and effort and money folks thinking like him expend to make some sort of point to themselves (not so much others), when they could be maintaining a suitable baseline civilian Militia combat rifle and working to change the sociopolitical climate. Or as individuals (and these folks are all about the individual), they could just move out of California. Whatever the option, note that it's all about indulgence in a hobby. It's not truly a goal of maintaining civilian firepower. (If it was, they'd go with a less feature-laden system [three links there].) It's about what they want the way they want it. That's the childish attitude that will kill RKBA.
