High velocity automobiles are a danger greater.
Kinetic energy equals one half the mass times the velocity squared.
Mass is the objects weight divided by the acceleration of gravity as weighed. Velocity is in like terms.
Take a 4000 pound auto at 60 mph or 88 feet per second and acceleration pf gravity is 32.16 feet per second per second or ft per second squared do the math and that dang car has 481,592 foot pounds of kinetic energy far far more than any magazines of ammo. Double the speed and quadruple the energy. No talk of common sense here

That is like having the food truck cook in charge of the Accounting at General Motors.

Weapons that have been used in an assault are assault weapons. Weapons that haven’t aren’t. Even if they are identical to the weapons used in the assaults.

They are just about to pass a law in Washington state that will classify any semi-auto with a thumbhole stock as an “assault rifle”. A quick search showed Winchester has a hunting rifle like that (wood stock).

somewhere along the line, any gun that doesn’t look like an old winchester Brown Bess is an assault weapon. they’re looking at style...not capability.

There I fixed it for you

A lever action Winchester is far too effective of a weapon for the common man to own. <> The Libs always refer to the common military arm at the time of the signing of the Constitution when referring to weapons imagined by the framers of the Constitution when writing the 2nd Amendment.

The Brown Bess was considered the finest military arm at the time of the signing of the Constitution.

Anything that is more effective than the Brown Bess must be an assault weapon.

And an automobile can accelerate between human impacts.

Batfe is where the definitions and classifications for everything firerm, are determined. They ALL know that.

He punted because he knows there is no definition that exists, and that no one can pin it down. Its just a political shock/scare term.

They had to redefine what a “vaccine” was formthe gene therapy shots to qualify...by watering down the definition quite a bit.

When ẅorking in the mountains of Vietnam I carried a Winchester Model 12 pump shotgun. 12 gauge of course.

Does that make pump shotguns “assault weapons”?
