You can own an M2, there just aren't enough to go around, and they're expensive. When is the last time a homicide was committed with a legal M2? Never. Let's lower the bar and ask how many homicides were committed with any legal MG since 1934? The answer is two. Yet they are still regulated almost to death. I don't want this to turn to second amendment debate, but others made the comparison to MVs, so I used the same example. How about crimes with legal armored military vehicles? Probably none.
It doesn't take an accident or crime to get something banned, and in my opinion fear of illogical bans shouldn't make us fear lobbying for greater public release of MVs. I don't have an issue with private armored vehicles, and I fail to see any logical argument against release to the public. No need you say? That argument can be applied to most hobbies or any historic vehicle preservation for that matter. Unsafe you say? Again, same argument can be applied, and doubly so for modern automobiles.
It kills me to see so much waste when current MVs are cut up or crushed for scrap. That incredible waste of taxpayer dollars is the real crime here.
