Someone has actually combined a rifle and a chainsaw. A Picatinny rail attachment and you have the ultimate zombie killer.

you have no clue about the reality of firearms, stun guns, and other weapons do you?

answer this, you are facing a person intent on killing you, and they are 20ft away. would you rather they have a knife or a gun? and if you were able to be armed, what weapon would you prefer to have in your hands?

i can tell you that i would rather face a person with a gun at 20ft, and i would want a gun in my hands as well.

if firearms have no purpose today, then I guess that is why the federal goverment wants to get them out of the hands of the law abiding citizen.
