The opening poster (and no one else in this thread) wrote the answer posted in the first post. I believe that the OP was merely stating surprise that what appears to be an accurate answer to a question about the difference between two guns, was found in an unlikely place. Maybe you thought the answer was to the question about the legality of owning an M4, which is the question above the one the answered?Eh. I own several military weapons that saw combat. People have a constitutionally protected natural right to keep and bear arms, military or not. It's an irrelevant distinction. The military also poops in the toilet, does that mean civilians can't have toilets?
I don't think we as a community should even be entertaining the military/civilian distinction. The military using something has no bearing on whether I get to own it.
The point is that the answer, while accurate, yields ground by focusing on the military/non-military distinction and leaving tacitly unchallenged the framing that "military things" are not for you and me.No one is this thread has stated that they are, "entertaining the military/civilian distinction", so I am not sure who, in this thread, your post is directed to. If you want to add to or dispute the answer on Quora maybe you should go there and address it where it happened?
Not sure exactly where this came from but if it is from the answer in the thread OK.Eh. I own several military weapons that saw combat.

OK I saw your post. But the way you came off was a bit confusing.Not sure exactly where this came from but if it is from the answer in the thread OK.
