The problem in weapons restrictions become some only work on the features of a weapon, like combinations of grips, flash suppressors or hiders, bayonet lugs, telescoping stocks and others. That has nothing to do with how the weapon operates or how many rounds it can fire. This also does not take into account the size of a bullet. A 22LR is a very small bullet and has very little power. This is being treated the same as 50 caliber bullet under the proposed legislation. To really have legislation with teeth would be the functional operation of the weapon. Since we have been talking about weapons that can fire many rounds in a short time this is all semi-automatic weapons, pistols or rifles. This also happens to be most weapons developed and sold in the last 75-100 years. This may be why it will be so hard to get meaningful legislation that will also pass 2nd amendment test as these weapons are in common use and have been for years.
