The point some of us are trying to make is this TUS...almost any firearm can be easily modified into a (as you call it) "military style mass kill weapon". If we willingly stand by while congress bans .223 semi automatic rifles, more will be added to the list, surely you will agree, right? Surely you don't believe they will stop there? As far as the no fly list goes, when that list fails to stop a future attack congress will eagerly be looking to come up with another list, and another and another. There's been countless bills introduced to grab guns or make guns harder for law abiding citizens to obtain. Any ban or list does not deter terrorists in any way form or fashion, does it?

I welcome any explanation as to how banning the sale of semi automatic rifles or rifles that can be modified to look mean, will stop an islamist terrorist that's on a no-fly list (or not) from doing his deed? At most, it delays his quest a few hours.
