I think in this context it is used more to refer to something that ‘has functionalities that no civilian would ever need’.



That doesn't really make sense, though. The entire point of the 2nd amendment is to allow the rapid formation of a militia to protect against tyranny, oppression, foreign aggression, etc. So "military grade" is exactly what you want citizen weaponry to be... I.e., civilians don't need those functions until they really do.

Someone makes a (good) point about semantics, and your reaction is to swear at them and then bring up a completely unrelated issue?

Are you on the right site?


I didn't swear at them, I said what the american response is/should be to such a statement.

Woah, did you just lifetime ban a (near) 10-year account citing 4 issues over 5 years?


No, those were just the occasions I could find where we had posted warnings.
