I dunno man, if I had a weapon like that I'd "defend" myself by "assaulting" the shit out of someone with bullets.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I don't see why anybody needs a gun. What is the utility in it?
Maybe 200 years ago, but today I don't think it's congruent with our society.

I have a '45 thompson that might best be considered an "assault weapon." It is so danged dangerous I can't use it anymore and keep ammo far away from it. The stupid thing's trigger is so hair light that it has a mind of it's own to fire. And it doesn't have a safety.
I keep it in my closet so that a burgler will shoot himself with it.

You're more likely to wound yourself with it - then a burglar is to ever be wounded by it. Speaking of burglars...."home invader" seems to be a pretty damned ballsy career choice. You really have to want that TV bad if you're willing to walk into a darkened home knowing that the guy inside is probably better armed than yourself.
