There's your problem. We don't use the metric system.

I personally feel we should give them more guns. And battlefields. These thugs are soldiers for whatever their cause is. They're ready to kill and die for it. And the current laws aren't stopping them. So let them have it. Just make sure they're isolated so stray fire can't hit noncombatants. Maybe rent out Soldier field, the MetLife stadium, set up some concrete barriers and let them go nuts on each other. They get to do what they're going to do anyway, the public is safer, and we've got a new reality TV show that can be monetized and taxed. Nobody loses.
