      Not sure what has your panties in a wad over that.

      The converted rifles in that crime were not ATF Form 2 weapons, so calling them “illegaly modified” is a true and factual statement.

        I don’t have gun context. Just saying that banning sething(i.e. making it illegal) will only increase amount of illegal. Things that are banned will not just “have you seen the law? Well, it seems I shouldn’t exist” and disappear.

      You can now prosecute people doing harm with new charges. I don’t know why that isn’t significant. Why does every action have to “fix everything?”

        Aaaand? They are already charged with, you know, killing people.

          Not necessarily. Not if they were stopped before they could kill anyone.

            Well, trying to kill is already illegal.

              You really don’t understand how adding charges results in longer sentences? Really?

                Well, you can just increase sentence for killing if you want what you claim

                  That’s not how laws work. There are already maximum and minimum sentences for each offense.

                    Yes. And both of them can be changed.
