However banning weapons, or a class of weapon, for legal private ownership for no reason other than to do it is dumb, lazy, and punishes the wrong people. It isn't the guys like me going out, getting licensed, buying guns legally, that are causing the issues. It's the people that get them illegally. Yet instead, the Government is going to punish people like myself because someone unlicensed got illegal firearms. I don't get it. It's a lazy expensive way of making anti-gun people feel good about themselves without actually accomplishing anything.

This sounds like a quote from the NRA playbook.
