“They’re accurate and they can basically shoot as quickly as you can pull the trigger,” according to a campaign statement.
“Along those lines, they’re very customizable — most average people can figure out how to install accessories like forward trigger grips that let you hold the gun at waist height and spray bullets while stabilizing the gun, laser sights, and you can add high-capacity magazines.”

The Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the Constitution) were ratified in 1791.
Guns available in 1791 were muskets and flintlock pistols.
Those are the ONLY weapons that should be covered under the second amendment… all others coming after, should be off the table to the general public.
Put that in your pipe NRA, and smoke it.
