While you were sleeping, chemistry has advanced from gunking up the barrel, so exactly what "technology limiting" factor are you proposing?

Denseness a problem, many ways around that, etc....

People are no longer club bearing primitives in sub saharan africa 400k years ago

Just explain why you want to disarm people and they might listen, and they might reject your arguments or they might not, depends on how much they trust *you* to provide for them.

Caseless ammo has it's drawbacks. Kaleva Dec 2012 #8

Hardly, the biggest drawback was the expense Riftaxe Dec 2012 #9

It has several problems besides expense Kaleva Dec 2012 #12

production is no longer a problem Riftaxe Dec 2012 #13

Still easy to control. Either outlaw caseless ammo for civilians or heavily regulate it. Kaleva Dec 2012 #16

It has been a fun back and forth Riftaxe Dec 2012 #18

I learn a great deal in these exchanges. Kaleva Dec 2012 #19

The word "assault" as used in gun terminology needs to be thrown out. Guns should be Tuesday Afternoon Dec 2012 #22

Actually the original use of "assault" is exactly as you wish. ManiacJoe Dec 2012 #24

Then I stand by my original statement. We should Revert Back to defining guns by the size and weight Tuesday Afternoon Dec 2012 #25

I think you misunderstood my post. ManiacJoe Dec 2012 #26

So a 9mm semi-auto pistol constitutes an "assault weapon" iiibbb Dec 2012 #50

If you read the first paragraph of the OP Kaleva Dec 2012 #52
