You are taking my statment out of context.  The subject has nothing to do with legal
ownership of automatic weapons.  The original statment was to show that no military
is unbeatable and that an organized group of militants can cause problems for even the
most sophisticated armies.

Second, define "too many" and "some."  I say that some Americans can legally posess
automatic firearms.  You say that not too many can.  What's the difference?  Your opinion,
which does not invalidate my statment.
