Confused about the flowchart. Help!

[Davidoff]

If we are looking for a better question, perhaps something along the lines of:

"Can the magazine be removed without the use of a tool, such as the tip of a bullet?"

Just a thought...

Yes, I undestand it better now. What gets me is why do these features make it evil.....sure may make it a little more comfortable, may help with the flash, folding stock may make it easier to conceal but it really just changes the way it looks more or less, not the way it operates.

It has much more to do with how guns look in the movies than anything related to actual public safety.

Bad guy in a movie mows people down in a movie while holding a pistol grip from the hip? Ban pistol grips
Bad guy in a movie kills a woman with a silencer while people in the next room only hear a mouse farting? Ban silencers
Bad guy in a movie has an AK-47? Ban AK-47 series
etc

In the end you can still buy a Saiga AK variant rifle with a hunting rifle style stock, use your 30 pre-ban 75 round drum mags, and all of these laws accomplished exactly nothing while making people who can't tell a real gun from a crossbow feel better about how they just saved the world.
