Anyone try and have this discussion with someone who is for banning them? I love the deer in the headlights look.

Too many times I've had this conversation. It usually ends up with the "well, I just thinking banning those really powerful weapons.."

Then I ask them to define a "powerful weapon"... Velocity? Foot pounds of energy upon impact? Wound channel? Temporary cavitation? Projectile mass?

*crickets*

or the classic "well armor piercing bullets should be illegal"

"Armor piercing", as in can penetrate a police officers standard issue body armor? You do realize that that's pretty much every rifle round in existence right?

K, The bottom one is just a barrel...no flash suppressor...that was an issue in a lot of cases, especially if they were threaded...because 'then' you could put a silencer on.

...and...can't really tell is there a bayonet lug on the upper one???...that was a ban back then too.

my other thought is it is full auto versus semi on the bottom just trying to prove a point that they are mislabeled
