99.9999999% of guns in the US aren’t used to rob banks. I doubt a bank has ever been robbed by a full sized rifle. When a bank gives out guns, I’d imagine there’s a pretty reasonable chance that the recipient will have one of the 99.99999999% of guns that aren’t going to rob banks. See irony if you must, but it’s probably more a reaction to the objects in question than anything. Maybe not. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/michael-moore/216913.md?page=5)
