(49,445 posts)...is that a person with one can fire many rounds quickly, reload quickly, then fire many more rounds quickly...
Then banning the future sale of those rifles only if they have protruding pistol grips is not an answer. Remember, the rifle used at Newtown was NOT an assault weapon under current Connecticut law, or the former federal AWB.
If you think it's an answer, then you're badly informed.
Feinstein's current proposal is full of minutia: a list of weapons banned by name, a list of weapons exempted by name, a list of "military style features" that are not allowed on semi-automatic rifles... and it's all useless.
If the perceived problem is as I described above, then you need to either a blanket ban on semi-auto rifles, a blanket ban on rifles fed from detachable magazines, or a ban on both.
