With the gun control debate it is similar (imo). I agree that some limitations are required to keep the country form turning into a wild west where stray bullets and ricochets kill people on a daily basis. Imo (again) full automatic assault rifles like miniguns have no place in a crowded city, because the risk to other people is too big. And if people can legally own them, then bad guys wil also own them and the violence problem is bad enough already that adding miniguns is not going to do much good in a place which suffers from gang warfare.
Well, first of all, miniguns aren't 'assault rifles'.........they aren't rifles at all.
Second of all, even so called 'assault rifles' are used in less than 1% of homicides......and that's the actually accessible ones like SKS's and AK-47's and their variants, which aren't real assault rifles either, as they are semi-automatic.
3rd, even if you legalized mini-guns, you wouldn't have any homicides with them, because they cost in excess of $60,000.00 plus apiece........and, you may not be aware of this, you can purchase them.........but the price alone makes them unlikely to ever get in the hands of some deranged nit-wit. http://www.autoweapons.com/photos05/mar/minigun.html
