Right ...
That's why they have semi automatic assault rifles that can fire 60 rounds per minute.
Because as we all know, a minimum of 60 bullets sprayed all over the room is necessary to stop a burglar.

So everything that's unnecessary should be illegal? Who gets to decide what's unnecessary? Thankfully I live in a country where the population doesn't think that criminals should have better access to weapons than law-abiding citizens.
That is great. It is a good incentive for other shops if sales grow because of the adoption of Bitcoin.
Off topic:
Devil's advocate:
Are guns really necessary? A lot of countries (mostly European ones) have much stricter rules on fire arms, and are doing just fine.
Or have even better statistics on criminal, drugs, and accidents related incidents.
Does the USA have such fundamental differences with other countries?
To answer your last question, yes. The right to gun ownership in the states is based on principle, not utilitarianism, pragmatism, or statistics. It's not about how many people get shot or whether certain gun types are "necessary", it's about your fundamental, inherent right to defend yourself, your community, and your country.
