Gun Control & RKBA

"The AG in MA has foregone all the minutia about appearance and boiled it down to function"

And THAT is my point.

Let us. progressives all, talk about "function". Not advertising hype nor prohibitionist hand ringing and hair pulling but functionality.

The ability to fire 20+ rounds per minute of highly deadly bullets with accuracy limited by the competency of the shooter and their ability to reload.

I'm only trying to clarify nomenclature. I make no secret of the fact that I fall on the side of the RKBA spectrum (but that does not mean I ascribe hostile motives of someone who disagrees with me), but dialog is what matters. There are those of us DEMOCRATS who feel that any high capacity hi velocity firearm in private hands is a mass murder waiting to happen. And there are those of us DEMOCRATS who feel that any restriction on something we can hold and own is bullshit that should be ridiculed and ignored. In my own case- I'll disarm as soon as the last tea bagger does...
