A "high firepower weapons ban"

[guardian]

84. Can we stop with the endless litany

of formulas, rules, and proposals to limit private firearm possession? It is obvious the antigunners' preference/goal is to ban all firearms. Just say so. It would be more honest and constructive just to start with the anitgunners' actual goal of zero firearms in private ownership. Then the debate can be over should private ownership be permitted and why/why not.

These mindless formulas are ridiculous in the extreme. You can have this, but not that. A rifle can have this type of stock but not that. Handguns can have x number of rounds but not y number of rounds. This color is permitted but that color is not. You can use FMJ but not JHP. You can shoot an assailant if they are at least 1.698322 times your body weight or at least 29% taller than the victim. An exception is made for people with arthritis in their thumbs, but not in there knees. You can use this caliber round, but only if you duct tape a NYC telephone book so that it blocks the muzzle. You can have a concealed carry permit, but only if you wear a speedo. Ad infinitum.

Sheeeeesh.
