In reply to the discussion: Queens AK-47 Gunman Shoots, Kills Teen Outside Party- the inquisitr [View all]farminator3000

We really cannot ban riffles cause, well, they look scary and shit.
why not? if they are frivolous? it is a pistol made more deadly with fancy add-ons. no use for it, really.
Thankfully, you are not writing policy. You are unwilling to admit that a rifle is a rifle and not a pistol.
i am saying that it is a pistol made to look "cool" and "macho", not a rifle, and it should be banned.
an ak-47 is a rifle, yes. but that thing is some kind of hybrid BS. no good. real ak-47s should also be RESTRICTED.
Yes, it matters both at the policy level and to trauma teams everywhere.
i'm sure the first question an EMT asks is "oh my god what kind of GUN WAS IT?!?!?"
