[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6272414, member: 6750039"] They [I]can [/I]receive an education, sure, but they don't. Diane Feinstein had all the time in the world to learn the difference between a clip and a magazine and automatic and semi-automatic - she was a gun banner for Billy Clinton, after all - but she's still as ignorant as ever and still leading the charge. As for manufacturers circumventing bans, well, there's honestly not a whole lot they can do if you actually understand what the limits are. You can't put a 30 round magazine up for sale if the cap is 20. You can't make a gun automatic if that's against the law. And as for barrel length, how the hell could you possibly get away with making a barrel shorter than 16" and selling it as though it were actually 16"? The Feds know how to use a ruler, you know. All that 'they can just get around it' is fear mongering BS. The limits, for the most part, are quantifiable. There are certain things that certainly can be gotten around but they're also wholly irrelevant to function. One stipulation that's super easy (and was actually enforced during the Clinton ban) is a bayonet lug. How many people have you heard of have been murdered by a buy with a rifle who stabbed them to death with a bayonet? So manufacturers simply took them off. Another is a pistol grip. How does that make a gun more lethal? Simply change the stock design. But who cares about that? It doesn't do any harm - all it does is showcase the rampant stupidity among those that write these laws. They ban guns based on features that they think are scary rather than anything tangible. If they bothered to learn anything they'd understand that a flash suppressor doesn't do anything all that dangerous. Hell, they'd understand that an AR15 with a 10" barrel still isn't all that easily concealed and that 'silencers' don't actually silence anything but do have positive benefits for hunters and home defense weaponry. But hey, ban 'em cuz they're scary. Ban 'automatic' weapons even though they've been NFA only since 1934. Ban 30 round clips even though the 'assault weapons' you're terrified of use magazines. Hell, ban 'assault weapons' even though more people are murdered each year by [I]fists[/I]. Meh ... You say they can get educated, I say they don't want to. The evidence is on my side. [/QUOTE]
