    Then why don’t more people have that style of gun?

    I hear this argument all the time about different banned features and attachments. (I own and shoot often btw)

    Like for braces. People say it doesn’t make you more able to kill, when it does.

    When there was a brief time where braces were legally iffy, I was using a sling instead. Let me tell you something, shooting with a sling is incredibly inaccurate compared to a brace.

    Every shot removes the pressure you are putting on the sling, whereas a brace every shot pushes it into your shoulder more.

    Shooting with a brace is incredibly similar to shooting with a stock, essentially identical just barely less comfortable.

    People are so political when they talk about guns, just be honest with yourself. You can love guns and love regulation at the same time. Maybe we just shouldn’t have crazy people and violent people owning them?

      But, why outlaw braces in the first place?

      Regulation is good when it makes sense. Calling a gun an “assault weapon” and trying to figure out some ass-backwards and arbitrarily definition afterwards is not good regulation.
