In reply to the discussion: Instead of banning guns, how about banning the ammo for certain guns? [View all]An AR can shoot .22 with a new bolt, and magazine, so the cost is about 150.
To shoot something like 9mm, or any other caliber, you would need to change the barrel and bolt. The total cost would be 300 or so.
Also, there are tons of bolt action rifles that are chambered in .223, so you can't just ban certain calibers of ammo.
