Well, people will say it's not about "need" (and if you follow that philosophy-of-need all the way, we'll all end up in hipster-box apartments with bikes hung on the living room wall).

That said, I can see the appeal of an AR/AK-style carbine. It's really hard for me personally to get to an outdoor range, and I don't really want to go shoot .308 at the indoor ranges that are convenient. BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-reload... ad nauseum. I'd shoot recreationally a lot more if I could just pull the trigger 30 times, keeping the gun pointed downrange the whole time and not generating elephant safari noise levels.

Not being a gang member or a crazy criminal full of hate I've own guns well over 50 years, if it were legal to own a M2 Browning full auto I guarantee criminals would use them. This is what happens when we have nice things, criminal s will fuck it up.
