While having a conversation about a thread in another sub forum, another member and I were briefly discussing military/LE only versions of an optic (NF NX8) and I was thinking as to why an optic would be regulated and kept from civilian use. So the question begs to be asked "do you think in this zeal to take away our gun rights that they may also try to take away our ability to purchase optics and thus negate our ability to fight back against further encroachments upon our liberties and rights" (i. e. take away one more tool that would help us)
