The "I know it when I see it" doesn't work well in our legal system. The Mad Mommy and company goals aren't to eliminate a single rifle platform but to eliminate as broad of a base as they possibly can. The current democratic gun ban bill is proof of this scope creep. Which basically strives to eliminate every modern gun. except mouseguns, and ancient designs like 1911s and revolvers. Soon they will go after those.

If they are going to call for the elimination of something they need to explain what the features are that they want to eliminate. How does a shroud or adjustable stock make a weapon more dangerous to the public? Why is a Glock 17 more of a public threat than a 1911 platform? To understand all this and the targets of the banners we need to get technical. They certainly have in their bills.

I wrote a post in my blog, that does 'gunsplain' a little about the AR15 and I try to dispell some of the mistruths about the AR-15 and related platforms.
In my recent experience in discussing the school shootings with gun banners, they have no interest in the specifics of anything. I tried to talk about the difference between .223 and .308 in lethality. They don't care. They see that the ARs have been used in crimes and that is all they need. Ban anything that has been used in crimes. When I brought up that handguns were use significantly more in crimes than rifles, their response was "ban those, too." Their wishes are being carried out by the introduction of the semi-auto ban in the US Congress. When I suggested that the Connecticut ban on ARs was less than successful, the response was that the National Guard should have been sent door to door. They are rabid. They want the 2nd Amendment repealed. When I reminded of the processes to amend the Constitution, they had no interest in that information either. Congress should be able to do away with the 2nd Amendment. Reality is not strong in that group.
