Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
If we outlaw bazookas, then only outlaws will have bazookas
This occurred to me today. Gun nuts say the same thing about guns all the time.
But if this fallacy were really true, why don't we see people running around and committing crimes today with bazookas?

We are told that if we outlaw guns, then only outlaws (criminals) will have them and the rest of us will be victimized by all of these outlaws and their guns.
But why isn't that happening today with bazookas? They are outlawed. Why aren't outlaws running around with them committing crimes? I can't remember ever hearing of it.
If I was a criminal, I'd sure as fuck want bazooka for my criminal activity.
Thought so.
A shotgun, a few 9mms, and a backpack full of clips seems much more practical (and cheaper! I work at lasertag i'm not a millionaire dammit!)
With a bazooka, you could take out the entire class in one shot. No reloads required.
And yet, we don't see ANYBODY using them in crimes.
Could it be because we've made them hard to get?
Hmmmmmmm
Just doesn't seem practical to me, although the idea of launching mortar rounds into the quad from an advanced position does have some appeal.
lol.
Most, you just have to have the right license.

I'm sure you can scale the concept up.
