Insist on banning something that's a minor factor in crime based on how it looks and makes them feeeeel.

What, rifles overall were involved in less than 275 crimes all last year, according to the FBI?

Let's keep trying to ban the most popular rifle in North America anyway, because they look scary to them.

While we're at it let's ban racing stripes on Dodge Omnis, because ir makes them look too fast.

Kinda sounds like that "Bull Connor School of Charm" at work; "I don't like they way they look, so get 'em outta here".

No wonder they can't get anything done in the legislatures and have to make the NRA the big bad boogeyman to excuse their regular lack of any kind of success.
