@Khem - yeah, the local sheriff needing an IFV is just stupid.
Think about it. Guns by necessity are durable, and slow rate of technological progress means guns don't become obsoletely within a generation or two. If there isn't some disturbance that incentivize gun enthusiasts to go out and buy more guns, the business of gun manufacturers would slow to a trickle and many of them would go out of business.
The hysterical gun debate over the last 2 decades probably does more to generate gun sales than any other factor.
