Slow down. Tell me, which one is more dangerous.

1. I don't know for sure, as you didn't provide the names, what those guns are, though they appear to be, if I am correct, variations of one weapon.
2. That is barely relevant as my knowledge of two different variations of a gun that I have had no experience with and have to research does not necessarily invalidate my point.
3. I don't think one would need either. They are not practical for self-defense, and ultimately you would get the same enjoyment (except if you are a collector, and there should be alternatives such as weapons that don't shoot) if you shot it in a regulated environment.
One would argue "Sure, I don't need either, but I want them." To which I would reply that potentially deadly things generally should not be a "want" issue.

I haven't had a situation when someone broke into my house either, but you could never know. Maybe, your country will go all mad, hypothetically speaking, and start killing their citizens like Syria. Or, maybe your country is attacked and invaded, and your military isn't strong enough, and middle eastern men are shooting up the streets.

We don't make decisions based off of HIGHLY UNLIKELY consequences.
Especially since we don't know every consequence.

Crime rate is high in America, especially on the East coast. My neighborhood is generally a good community, but its had break-ins.
America doesn't have the best rep with other countries, so we might have some issues.

Sure, but not every crime is a home invasion where people murder/rape the inhabitants.
