This is what troubles me about this discussion and I'm going to go back on some of my experience so bear with me.

The whole ban automatic weapons call and we need our large capacity magazine argument is stupid.

first and foremost in my experience a weapon like a AR-15 civillian or a AK-47 civilian is an ideal killing weapon. semi automatic weapons combined with a large round clip and a pseudo military sight is the best weapon if I want to kill enmasse.

Fully automatic weapons are terror weapons, after the first few rounds leave the barrel the recoil takes the aim up and to the right. Go and find an automatic weapon and try it. If you don't have arms like a great ape its an incredibly inaccurate weapon designed to force your enemy down and pin them. Hollywood movies that show people spraying crowds accurate thats the exception.

Ask most soldiers, when they had the automatic option on their rifles they didn't use it because its only good for punching holes in the sky after the first few shots. Plus it beats the sh$t out of your shoulder..

A semi automatic rifle with a large clip is a great killing weapon. basically the springs eat the recoil and settle the weapon back down after you shoot it. On top of that I can fire more bullets accurately and faster with a semi auto.

I was never a great sharp shooter in the military, but with the FN-C1-A1 I was tremendously accurate because I could control my aim and my breathing and put bullets on target with greater accuracy then I ever could with a SAW or a SMG.

A semi auto based assault rifle with a large mag is probably the best weapon that you could have for a killing spree if your the least bit disciplined with it and know how to breath.

A pistol is an idea weapon in an enclosed space, especially a semi auto pistol with a magazine fed system. In a terrifying environment its very easy to corner people in a room and shoot for the center of the crowd. Pistols suck over distance but in close they're highly effective for killing.

So here's what I would outright ban.

Fully automatic weapons. Magazines over 5 rounds, magazine fed pistols. Magazine fed semi automatic assault weapons or semi automatic assault weapons replica knockoffs.

There's no reason whatsoever for the above weapons to be in the hands of civilians. They're not hunting weapons, they're not even needed for home defense.

the weapons that I would leave alone. Revolvers, breech feeding rifles, hunting rifles with 5 or less round magazines, hunting class shotguns with a 2 round capacity (no more assault or mag fed shotguns.

I would also ban hollow point bullets, and mandate that civilian bullets had to be coated in Teflon
