The other side can’t argue against assault weapons or heavy calibers.

I guarantee you that's part of the lawsuit. The principle is the same regardless of the caliber, so why give the gun-banners the opportunity to shove the case off into the weeds of "cop killer" bullets and "automatic" semi-automatic pistols? Did you know that New Jersey, for example, prohibits hollow-point ammo, and simple possession is a crime?

I don't think they could have made that case with a .38 revolver, a much better choice than the .22

In Chicago, I would add one number to that and go with the .223 handgun.
