Irrelevent for that specific task, not irrelevent as to a choice of a
standard service rifle.

We don't, and won't, always fight in urban terrain.

And yet, for reasons that remain mysterious to me, many liberals seem to
think that the U.N. is somehow a democratic institution because its members
vote. Never mind that many of these votes are cast by people who don't
represent their constituents in any democratic sense. The same people who
despise the federal and republican aspects of the United States - states'
rights, the electoral college, indirect elections, etc. - will swoon over
the moral authority of U.N. "votes" criticizing the United States. This is
like having a gang of criminals "vote" on which old lady they're going rob
and kill and then, looking at the corpse, say, "Well, it was a democratic
decision."
