Well put, Malpaso. As is so terribly common, most of those who think they know why a gun is "useless" don't have the training or experience to make an informed opinion. Usually they are at the bottom of the competency ladder: those who don't know that they don't know. This is like the U.S. legislators who crafted the 1994 "assault weapons" ban. They figured that if a rifle had a flash suppressor or a collapsible stock, it must somehow be more deadly. They had no idea that such accessories could easily be removed, while the rifle still shot the same cartridge. They were incompetent to judge, and worse, they were unaware of their incompetence.

Just using the term "quickdraw" reveals a lot.
