They want to ban a gun that costs more than the average car, that's never been used in a crime.....le sigh.

And they aren't above flat out lying, but we already knew that....link

Except it's actually the exact opposite, they've halved.  FBI pdf link for 1996 (page 18 if you don't believe me) (546 rifle deaths, 673 shotgun=1219) and FBI link 2012 (322 rifle, 303 shotgun=625....and 678 people were murdered with no weapon other than fists and feet).

Why is this so crazy?

If we're talking about essentially military weapons, what is the point of owning them?  You don't go deer hunting with an M-16.

The civilian equivalent is an excellent hunting rifle, many many thousands of Americans use them every year.

The gun in the article is NOT fast firing and isn't pick up and magically kill anything aimed at.  It takes training.

You can buy a Mustang, but they can't leave a secure, licensed race track.  You can buy a swimming pool, but you must provide a life guard for every 20² ft of pool, 24/7/365.  How's that sound?

No, it's loony.  Banning these rifles will do nothing but make gun nuts (of which I'm not) say, "told you Obama was going to take our guns".  It won't reduce crime and it won't stop a lone nut hell bent on destruction.

I don't understand pointing out the weapon's cost. The fact that it is pricey means that it should be available to all who can afford it?

The price of the gun sh**ts on the theory that it's going to be gun used only by "insurrectionists, terrorists and hate groups".  Why would those groups drop nearly 30 large on something when they can get the exact same effect for $100?  Make no bones, this is a gun for rich folk (or otherwise people willing to drop a butt ton of money on a singe firearm), but that doesn't mean it should be illegal either.

So the CEO of some organization nobody's ever heard of and nobody cares about

They got Starbucks to reverse their gun policy (in the wrong direction).
