I dunno, I've always thought it was a reasonable comparison. Both can be used as lethal weapons, both are heavily restricted in where and by whom they can be used. Both can only used by somebody after going through rigorous testing.
Maybe the tool itself isn't comparable, but the legal requirements can be contrasted nicely.
