People mistake the fact that a professional camera is useful for a vast variety of non-wartime uses for the fact that a professional camera is less powerful than say something like an assault rifle, yes an assault rifle can end your life from 300m away, but a professional camera can change the world from 300m away, you tell me which is more powerful! This isn't an argument about how guns should all be legal, I am just pointing out how insanely powerful digital cameras are.
