Fresh, Your point about your father's 30-06 really is something I didn't know. So despite that it is a good rebuttal to what I was saying, I appreciate your response and the information.
Now, to add to this discussion, there is some recent evidence about the marketing of the AR-15 style guns and that it is designed to appeal to the young men that don't understand logical consequences well. For example, the adds about "getting your man card" next to a pic of an AR-15 type gun is clearly romanticizing a serious weapon. So in view of this, and your response, what should we do? Maybe the focus should be on the mag and controlling the high capacity round mags? I am sickened by the assaults with high casualty numbers. Have to do something that makes sense. Agree?
