re: #167 kirkspencer

re flash suppressor, you’re right.

re the remainder, you’re missing the point.

There are a group of weapons that are more likely to be used by spree and mass shooters. They tend to be militaristic. There are a group of weapons that are more likely to be selected by gangs and insurrectionists. Again they tend to be militaristic weapons.

I get it. You don’t really give a shit about the vast, overwhelming majority of gun crime and firearms murders, just the high profile outliers that make the news. Somehow the idea is that if we target the cosmetic features this might have an effect on the underlying drive towards criminality.

Magical thinking.
