re: #146 EPR-radar

Well, if both sides could agree to a definition of “military grade weapon”, and agree to stricter controls relating to military grade weapons, some progress might actually be possible.

We did that. In 1934.

Nothing that I can go down to the local gun shop and buy is any different than what I could have bought in 1950 except for cosmetics. Those cosmetics make no difference as to leathality of the firearm. There is no real difference between an AR-15 and an M1 Carbine except that generations of WWII movies have taught us that the Carbine is a “good guy” weapon.

What does matter is a combination of the cartridge used along with the size of the “ammunition holding device”.

If people want to make a dent in gun crimes they need to forget about the looks and concentrate on the things that matter. Caliber. Quantity of rounds. Size.

That was what I said to the VP anyway.
