Gun Control & RKBA

Forewarning I'm about to get technical.

I have one rifle that I inherited. It is a literal elephant rifle. I could use it to hunt bison, Kodiak or polar bear but really it is overpowered even for them. I know it will punch a hole through a half inch of plate steel because I've done it. It is a single-shot rifle and would be about the most worthless thing to use for a crime unless you want to destroy someone's car.

The 223 round fired by the AR-15 is what I use for hunting varmints such as woodchucks, prairie dogs or at most coyotes. For that I have a bolt action rifle that holds 5 rounds.

I carried the AR-15 military cousin for 20 years and have intimate, first-hand experience on what it can and cannot do. It is not high-powered at all. It is however high capacity. That may be what you actually need to focus on.
