If I had a nickle for every person I've seen saying the MCX SPEAR is gonna be the new weapon of choice for mass shooters and that mass shooters are the fault of the gun community viewing guns as status symbols instead of the tools that they are I'd have 10 cents.
In my understanding that's for some special collectors addition that includes the silencer and optic. Sig is going to eventually release a regular package that's just the rifle at a price of about $2500-$3000, which is still a little high.
These people don't understand why the AR15 is popular either with mass shooters or the gun community.
Every single anti-gun faggot I've seen make the argument that people buy guns to feel powerful or whatever has been worryingly mentally unwell in that regard themselves. I hate throwing around the term "projection," but that's exactly what it feels like.
They're also fucking cheap. It's like someone asking why niggers shoot each other with Hi-Points. If you could buy a Taurus for $100 then they'd use that.
I'm sure most people here remember when the AK was the boogeyman of journalists. Back then ARs were a flex and AKs were for the poors.
Ugh, stop reminding me that I was born too late to enjoy stuff like that. I just paid $1,000 for a MAK-90
. Granted, in great shape and likely unfired, but still way more than it ought to be. 
The previous generation's version of these people went after Saturday Night Specials using similar narratives except it was blacks using the guns.
Not mentioned in that wiki page was poor people irrelevant of race were also buying Saturday Night Specials as that was all they could afford for protection. As a significant number of rich Fudds abhorred the fact the Hoi Polloi have the same 2nd Amendment rights as they do.
Ian has outright stated in at least one of his Q&A's that a bunch of gun collectors (the ones that see guns as an investment and not as things to shoot) support the NFA because it has always steadily inflated the prices of the machineguns in their collections. This is nothing new. I imagine they toned it down on the video with the machine gun expert because the guy works for one of the auction houses that sells shit to these same collectors and they didn't want him to get into hot water for it.
My favorite thing about that Q&A was how they talked about how if you find a machine gun in the proverbial attic you should totally go to the ATF because if it's actually on the registry they'll help you out, and if it's not they won't prosecute you for doing the right thing... And didn't even slightly mention that 'the right thing' would result in them taking it from you.
Nigga, did you even watch the video or are you just parroting the same talking points from those schizos who are obsessed with Ian on /k/? This one's been beaten like a dead horse so much that they don't even bring this up on /k/ anymore.
I watched the video quite some time ago and came up with the conclusion myself. Don't go on /k/, what was that a meme there?
They all seem like pretty good reasons for these people to own gun imo.
