The pols want to get rid of them because they can punch right through limo, from any direction.
Thinking of their own safety, as usual.
Back prior to 1968 I owned a share of a Boys antitank rifle, even hotter than .50BMG. Shot down a few trees, never tried it on a limo.
Its merely a sop to the Democrats. In reality, how many people own one? Its not that I support such a ban - clearly its nonsense. But it is a political sop.
You have to realize that in this benighted state, even Republicans are often anti-gun. I wish we had Wyoming’s gun laws or even Pennsylvania’s, but the reality is we don’t and probably never will, which is why I want to get the hell out of here.
Some of the more onerous things the Dems were proposing were magazine bans like Cuomo’s, the right to enter your home to see that your guns are secure, requiring periodic mental health checks, renewals of firearms purchasers permits periodically, on and on and on.
Like I said, this APPEARS milder than ANYTHING being proposed.
