Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Instead of banning guns, how about banning the ammo for certain guns? [View all]Flyboy_451
(230 posts)But, what do you hope to accomplish with such a proposal, and what was the rationale for you diameter criteria? The reason I ask is because I believe you have either made a typo or are woefully uninformed on the subject matter. I am not suggesting that one must be a firearms expert to put forth ideas, only that a lack of information is not a desirable trait for such a person.
As an example based on your previous post, I think what you may have intended to say was "any round greater then .22 inches in diameter and less then 6.5mm in diameter."
using your provided numbers in millimeters would place a restriction on any bullet larger than .008 inches in diameter. This is only slightly larger than the thickness of a typical piece of printer paper. This is an example of why people become frustrated when proponents of stricter laws insist that a technical knowledge is not important in formulating legislation. The idea of trying to regulate firearms by banning any cartridge that fires a a bullet smaller in diameter than roughly .25 inches borders on ludicrous.
I understand that you and many others are frustrated and emotional about this issue, and truly want to find a viable solution. Please do not make the mistake that those of us of different opinion do not share those same emotions and desires to find a solution. Please also consider that while your ideas may be with the best intentions, this is not the same as being effective.
