How do you call that ban 'sensible', though?
Do you know what the ban did? Took a few rifles and made them WILDLY popular..  Rifles with the same rate of fire as hunting rifles, of the same caliber, used in the same low number of crimes (<3% for ALL rifles by the last FBI report)- rifles with certain characteristics related to _appearance_ (when's the last time anyone was killed by a bayonet?)- banned them from import or sale. Only it didn't, really, as it was easy to modify any of the rifles to meet the conditions of the ban. eta: expanded data re type of weapon- http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/data/table_20.html |
