@Arqtec well assault *rifles* are indeed effectively banned in the US. I don't think there's any kind of viable political move to reverse that.
@ech
THERE ARE PLENTY
AR-15's AK-47's & Varients
7.62x39 is most mass produced rd in the world
.223/5.56 is next
The government can place a tax on owning these guns with this caliber
The Government could offer a buy back program $$
People are gun crazy, some are absolutely fucking NUTS
@Arqtec you can rent an automatic AK-47 to shoot at a range, but it's really hard to buy one. (Probably possible that's why I said "effectively".)
@ech
Gun brokers on the east coast are selling all kinds of dangerous weapons
If the country adopted California's record of legal guns we would all be a lot better off
A Ar-15 in California has to have a aftermarket break barrel designed to be activated before loading another magazine, those magazines are limited to 10rds
So the rate of fire becomes severely limited
If they make the limit on magazines to 5rds, even better
They make lever action rifles with 10 rd capacities
Safer Guns
@ech
I have shot guns for over 50 years
Any form of Military style weapons to the public use should be banned
If you want to hunt most areas demand only 3 cartridges be in the weapon
Most hunters for accuracy will usr Bolt action rifles
All the little Sandbox bully boys want to measure the ego's by having assault weapons
Public Safety is more important
