I mean yes, true, but:
More dangerous
More expensive
Easier to track who purchased/likely owns one
More complex to use.

Which person do you think is looking at more potential fines and jail time?
Whats less expensive and easier to dismantle and throw away or otherwise dispose of?
A fairly decently powered laser?
Or a Tippmann 98?
