Pass a stupid law, get a stupid result.
As Clash Daily’s Jonathan S. explains:..............Prototypes for the newly designed AR-15 are hitting gun shops across New York,
. The new gun law bans all kinds of semi-automatic rifles that have been labeled with the “assault” term even though these are very common rifles and are no more powerful than the average hunting rifle.
. Reading this story, one would almost conclude that legislation that deals only with the superficial and the irrelevant is inherently silly. Curious.
. Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).
