5. Yes you can shoot people more efficiently with an AR 15 in a short time

than you can with a 30.06. AR has a much greater rate of fire with much less recoil than a 30.06. Also I don't think you can buy 30 round magazines for a 30.06. The only thing that the old assault weapons ban did was banning high capacity magazines, banning the AR's bayonet lug and banning telescoping stocks. Back then you had to make do with 20 round army style magazines. If all the proposed assault rifle ban does is to make semi-automatic rifles look less like a military rifles it won't have much effect at all. During the last 'assault rifle ban' you could buy a Ruger Mini-14 for about half the price of an AR and have the same firepower, it just didn't look like a military rifle. The Mini-14 was easily converted to full auto as well.
