About 40 states allow automatic weapons.

My Dad was a cop, though, and he used to stress the fact that any weapon you have can end up being used against you. 

I had a tenant get mad over work hours and kill the neighbor's children's cat; I've seen CPS and food stamps weaponized multiple times.

Being in Florida I have my concealed weapons permit and carry often, certainly when dealing with tenants. 

"Well, I have A&B with a deadly weapon and I'm on probation...but it wasn't on my landlord."  

I just got one - a father and son (and pregnant fiancee, God help her) duo - with 3 entire pages of  convictions and arrests (repeated offenses) for everything you can think of : burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, domestic battery, felony battery, drug possession, that's not even all of it.

@Nick Gann @Samuel Pentowski If there is one thing I've learned is that, during crises, the media/government are quick to make up phrases to describe things that aren't really there.Whether it's "weapons of mass destruction" or "flatten the curve" or "v-shaped recovery", usually, when it's all said and done, none of the seemingly expert phrases ever really depict an accurate portrayal of what's happening or will happen.

there is this... psalm 37:21 - The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives.if they owe 5k, and it's been more than a month that was missed.

If they have weapons then I have to take them out immediately.
