If a collision is inevitable, then yeah, I wanna be the one that comes out OK. Hopefully, everyone does, but the safety of those in my vehicle is far more important than anyone else to me. I'll take something that protects the inside at the expense of the outside every day of the week. That's somehow a bad thing?
It's less about that the money gets spent and more about the outcome. The money is burned either way, but now maybe my kids will have it easier and can save their money. Maybe we can start to build more generational wealth, and their kids can have even better lives.
What's really funny is that the 12g built off the AR frame doesn't actually qualify for the "assault weapon" description, so said AR-15 style assault shotgun is a greenlight.
Why? Dude was just doing his job.
