You guys will do all you can to not restrict anything. So let me make it crystal clear. The AR platform, or the Ak for that matter, do not belong in civilian hands.
Is that clear enough? There are plenty of older weapons that are more than sufficient for hunting and home defense, really.
The AR or the Ak, or any future platform deriving from new research military platforms, to cover our asses, does not belong in civilian hands.
Now if you somehow manage to drop the effective ROF to one a second, a round a second, sure...it can. Limit your magazines to hunting legal...sure. So it is nothing personal to looks. You want to own a macho looking gun that is not going to do what it does, no detachable magazine, no ability to change parts so it can chamber other ammo, none of that nonesense...be my guest.
In many ways people have had it with the minority of the minority that want nothing to change. And I say this as a gun owner.
So you understand this now? This is where most of us are. We want an AWB...period.
