What a profoundly disturbing and frightening vision of the future!
I mean, the operator actually opened the box without ascertaining beyond all doubt what was happening. And as if such irresponsibility--allowing ordinary citizens (i.e. potential criminals) to handle firearms--weren't bad enough, there actually was a real GUN inside.
People don't need to have a real gun in the box in order to feel safe--they just need to believe it. I thought the idea was to delay their futile actions until the police arrived, anyway. We can't have subjects^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcitizens killing other subj^H^H^H^Hcitizens with state-controlled equipment--that would be anarchy, and make criminals out of innocent victims.
Finally, to top off this whole debacle, the gun was an M&P, which stands for
Military &
Police, NOT su^H^Hcitizen or civilian--this makes it an
assault weapon, and such weapons are inherently more dangerous for some reason (how should I know why--I'm not a specially-trained government employee).
This video is a real wake-up call for our legislators to tighten their control of guns in order to protect the people from one another. If they don't do something soon, then blood will run freely on our streets!
