Probably all equal amounts but only one would land you jail time just for ownership

Um it would probably just lay exactly where you left it. None appear to be sentient

Hi, pro gun leftist here: -all pretty equal in terms of lethality, they all fire the same ammunition. They may have slightly different bullet velocities based on barrel length but that doesn’t matter in the context of your question -the clearly NFA-illegal one just has a short barrel, which means you could hide it under a trench coat. A lot of these rules are from the old mafia days and were written to prevent mobsters running around with tommy guns etc. Rules against briefcase guns and stuff

“Probably all equal amounts” then i sure hope the sentence length for ownership is equal too. Indescribably evil to own Any of the 5 year old mulchers

Is the purpose of a car to fire a 1 ounce slug of lead at supersonic speeds into the chest of a 5 year old

Why do you have such descriptive fantasies of 5 year olds being shot

No but it could very well be used as a weapon against them just like a gun, I don't think they designed any gun with 5 year olds specifically in mind either, correct me if you can actually prove me wrong

I dunno, probably the 2000+ school shootings since columbine that have provided the american people with graphic, real life examples of such

To have a round of ammunition leave the barrel of said firearm

USUALLY? Are you SURE? If you were to guess - in terms of ammunition expended PER SECOND - how much would you guess is being shot in the direction of clay? or water heaters?

Idk about clay or water heaters specifically but I would bet $100 that there are more bullets fired at targets than at people
