Paul Allen gave $500k to promote gun control, but owns a SCUD missile, and is buying a Panzer

Wow, I have no words. It's ok "because I'm rich" I guess...?

Hm, actually it looks like it might have been one of the Littlefield tanks, if you remember that amazing auction from a few months back.

Obviously, peasants, such as us, can't be trusted with semi-auto guns. [Abused]

That's kinda like saying there's a double standard because he's trying to buy a Zonda now. It's not like the tank has a functioning gun on it, and odds are the SCUD isn't fueled or armed.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a real issue of hypocrisy here. He's attempting to buy demiled military equipment, not guns. If he was buying collectable, functioning machine guns or something, yeah. But he's not. The guy's definitely a douche and elitist for donating that much money to gun control but it's his money.

If you had the money you could go out and buy the same things without a background check because it's not a firearm.

I find it telling that he wants a Nazi tank. :p
