(154,021 posts)It's important when writing law that those doing it concentrate on the inner workings of the firing mechanism. (I told as much to my former congresswoman, redistricting). I told her to stay away from scary features and concentrate on the firing mechanism. This gets away from the discussion you are talking about, this is not friendly to the NRA.
If you are not writing policy, where it does matter, they are trying to get you distracted and prevent regulations in a whole slew of weapons, some of which don't look scary at all. Since some of them, unlike the scary ones, really are not modular and are used in hunting, and in a few cases have a real hard limit on how much ammo they can carry...sure...it's a weapon I would have no issue used in hunting.
But the true scary, highly adaptable, detachable magazine...unless we can come with mechanical solutions...they don't belong in civilian hands.
But the short of it...they are trying to distract, you "ignorant gun grabby fool" and it is an NRA tactic.
