64. So why worry about banning specific firearms?
Especially since many bans specifically exempt and specifically allow weapons that are functional equivalents.

Take ye olde federal AWB

BANNED!:

NOT BANNED:

Both of these rifles are .223 Remington/5.56x45 (not sure if the mini 14 is 5.56, but the difference between the cartridges is internal pressure, a .223 will chamber a 5.56x45, but pressures may be dangerously high for the length of a the throat of a .223 chamber) gas-operated semi-automatic firearms. Both have similarly sized magazines, and fire one shot with each pull of the trigger.

Why ban one, and not the other?
