One of the things I learned in the Marines was "Never give an order you know will be disobeyed". Of course 99% of these morons have no such experience. Anyone who looks at the statistics for compliance with new restrictive gun laws has to ask themselves what the gun grabbers are trying to accomplish. Whether the "ban" is aimed at actual weapon types, magazines, bump stocks, or pistol braces, there are phenomenal percentages of people in every State who are simply ignoring them. If the intention of these politicians is to create whole new classes of felons out of otherwise law abiding citizens, CONGRATULATIONS, and good job. This of course also has the consequence of creating more people who have less respect for every other annoying intrusive law, and are more likely to ignore them as well.

Imagine that, a government policy with unintended consequences- what a shocker!

As an FYI, there is an excellent explanation of the relationship of the Minuteman's flintlock to the "modern sporting rifle". https://modernmusket.com/the-hammer/
