I can't. That's why I am asking. Devil's advocate says that if I kill you, a trial lawyer is going to call my gun- no matter what it is, an assault weapon.

See? That's my point. Even if someone had a supposely legitimate reason to ban some group of firearms that are especially dangerous, the AW ban does not do that. Instead, it bans certain firearms based on primarily cosmetic bases. It is bad law, and is a typical liberal law, as it doesn't actually accomplish anything, but it allows liberals to "show they care" by passing a symbolic law.
