2. Except it's an utterly useless move absent banning the actual gun..

Yes, the AR "handguns" shoot "cop-killer" bullets...by definition. Every damn round that comes out of one of those grotesque unwieldy abominations will chew up soft body armor, whether it's the eeeevil SS109 "armor piercing" round or an entirely innocuous Winchester white-box round you can buy at Wal-Mart. Body armor is proof against handguns, not rifles. Full stop.

Maybe banning repeating HANDGUNS designed to fire RIFLE ammunition would be more sensible, and probably more widely supported. Shit, I'd be behind it 100%.

Unless you really do want to disarm the hunters and sportsmen..
