8. THE MOST LETHAL EVER period. All caps in bold too for emphasis, no doubt.

Actually, I don't think that's true. We once allowed fully automatic machine guns to be mail-ordered and delivered to homes without even a background check.

So if you think your statement is true about AR15s, then you must think that full-automatic weapons were less lethal. Are you ok with making these less-lethal weapons more available again?

Or is your claim in the OP incorrect?
