In reply to the discussion: I will not offer "thoughts and prayers" for the victims in Orlando [View all]Orrex
(63,203 posts)13. Then let's not fuck around with definitions. Here's the solution:
Ban any firearm that can be loaded with more than one round at a time or that can be equipped with a clip or magazine enabling it it to hold more than one round at a time.
Ban any firearm that can fire or can be made to fire more than one round in any consecutive five second period.
Subsequent to the ban, possession of a banned firearm will subject the offender to a minimum of ten years in prison per firearm with no chance of parole.
Problem solved.
