I need to get some stuff off my chest. (Guns-n-Laws)

17. Look, I totally agree that assault weapons should be outlawed. But arguing without knowing what

you are talking about is counter-productive. This is just plain stupid: "In a mass-shooter/massacre situation, a normal caliber gun would still do damage, but at a much slower fire rate with necessary reloads."

Assault rifles are actually small caliber rifles, virtually equivalent to the 22 caliber. The caliber is not the point. It is the power of the powder load in the cartridge along with the instability of the bullet, which easily tumbles, that causes such extreme damage.

It really does help to know what you are talking about so that you don't give the opposition the excuse to point out your ignorance.
