So they got rid of the weapons LEAST likely to kill people?


I guess that's "Poetlogical".....

Or they got rid of the weapons that are designed most to kill a bunch of people, and are less optimal for legitimate purposes like hunting or self-defense. Here was a quote I found from someone with experience as a hunter and a soldier talking about the M-16's use in both categories:

I served in the military and the M16A2/M4 was the weapon I used for 20 years. It is first and foremost designed as an assault weapon platform, no matter what the spin. A hunter does not need a semi-automatic rifle to hunt, if he does he sucks, and should go play video games. I see more men running around the bush all cammo’d up with assault vests and face paint with tricked out AR’s. These are not hunters but wannabe weekend warriors.
