But you're saying something is not scary because it fires a smaller round, when it could easily be argued that the Ar15 will kill more people than a hunting rifle in shorter period of time, especially in a "stalking from room to room" situation. Of course politicians should say it's scarier, because it is. The AR15 actually is a more fearsome weapon, and it's not just because of its looks. I owned a CAR15, and while I never shot anyone with it, I also never fooled myself into thinking its just another gun. The AK47, Mp5, Galil, m4 or whatever. They're made to turn people into ground meat in a combat situation, so they should be classified that way.
I'm talking about simple concepts that you will not be able to grasp.
