Gun Control & RKBA

"If it makes you happy to have "high-powered" mean nothing when you say it and to have no understanding of what an informed person means when you read or hear what they have to say, then please carry on with your trip down that rabbit hole. "

I already stated what I believe the term "high-powered" means in the context of talking to the public about firearms. I still have not seen your "official", "technical" definition of "high-powered". I did scan some other comment boards and one gun owner stated he had been told all his life that "high-powered" meant a certain number of mjoules of energy (I think it was 2,800, but I am not sure). Now, that is the kind of definition I am looking for (although a random guy on a comment board stating "what he had been told all his life" isn't really official, but its only an example).

I also found this just now (along with a few days ago) which discusses a BATF defintion of "high-powered rifle". However, the link in the discussion is dead 9https://www.shootersforum.com/general-discussion/70078-batf-definition-high-powered-rifle.html)

Finally, I have the NRA's handbook on high-powered rifle shooting that specifically includes the M16: https://rulebooks.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/RuleBooks/HPR/hpr-book.pdf
