I was kidding about banning stuff.

I disagree with you about the rifles though. Yes those things don't need to be used for hunting, but hunting isn't the only thing that you do with firearms.

They use .50BMGs for competition long distance target shooting matches. They use AKs/MPs/etc in carbine rifle competitions. I know a lot of people that would argue with you about the accuracy of an AK. Yes they are unaccurate compared to ARs, but still 2-4" moa groups at 100yrds, is plenty accurate to hit what you are aiming at. AR's are good for .5 -1" moa groups These are not military grade, they are semi-auto. Most crimes do not involve assault rifles, but you typical handgun. I agree that the general public does not need FULLY automatic weapons, I'm all for having to jump through hoops to own them. They are still legal to own with the proper license. Which is how it should be.

We were shooting my friends 1945 M44 Mosin Nagant this weekend. It uses a 7.62x54R round, which is a hair larger then a .308. That thing was awesome. Hell of a buy for $80. Shooting an 8 inch target at 100 yards with the iron sites. Good fun. He said is shoulder was purple the next day, what a sissy.
