The fact of the matter is that these rifles are no more "deadly" than an

You got it, Vito. The story, of which Jon is apparently ignorant, is that
when the Congress critters' staffers were writing the definition of "assault
weapon" their method was to go through a gun catalog and pick out features
that made a weapon _look_ like a real assault rifle. Any weapon with those
features was designated an "assault weapon" regardless of how it actually
operated.

Mr. Poodle is clearly the ignorant one. He thinks that it's ok to put
more guns on the streets.
