I have zero consideration for my karma score. If I bother commenting it's so others will read and possibly read into what I'm speaking of and further inform themselves.
Oh I get it. I just hoped to add to it is all.

Just for reference, the latest assault weapons ban would have banned everything that is not a bolt action rifle pump action shotgun lever action rifle or a revolver from the early 1900s. And with the overlapping restrictions many of those would also be banned for capacity weight or other arbitrary addon definitions.
For example a single action shotgun from 1880 would be classed as an illegal assault weapon as it has the capability to: "accept a detachable ammunition feeding device at some location outside of the pistol grip." It does not matter that it is a single action. Shotgun the fact that there are devices specifically invented to assist with reloading makes it an assault weapon as the law is written.
