Because everyone who needs - really needs - one, will have it issued by the employer. Speaking as former infantry, if your employer does not give you a pistol, you do not need a pistol. If you insist on having a pistol when you do not need a pistol, your problem is more personal than gun laws. Simple-as.

If Americans invade, I have a rock. They'll bring the gun to me. They'll probably leave it somewhere, actually, while re-tying their flourescent Nikes.

If the US invades, a little hand gun isn't going to help at all.

Hunting rifles would be much better for long range sniping. I'd rather have a shotgun if it's closer combat. We can get those easily (all things considered).

And an FN-P90 without the muzzle extension is also much more appropriate in an urban-warfare situation than any handgun.

150 rounds in 50-round magazines and in-stock storage for two magazines, UN ammunition that has limited range to avoid secondary fatalities, extremely short bullpup length for tight environments, two-handed use so it isn’t easily ripped from your grasp… the list goes on and on.

Why would they invade when they can just embargo. We couldn't get anything in or out if they said no.
