Its a fact.
Hi cap mag ban? Just carry more mags.
Pistol grips, collapsable stocks, barrel shrouds, bayonett lugs, flash hiders and any other "military" feature are cosmetic and do nothing to increase lethality.

Hell I know guys that can run a revolver over strings of 20+ rounds better and faster than I can run a semi auto.

Has it occurred to you that the NRA may be right about some of these things?
