I agree, but categorizing the weapons is useful as well for statistical purposes.
What, in your mind, would be the benefit or value in those specific statistics (specific to the tool used)?
To me, as the old saying goes, the devil is in the details!
We need to return
Each event involving a gun can be examined to determine if new laws are needed. It's a study tool. I have done this and determined that indeed guns aren't the problem.
I am of the position that no law that focuses on a tool used in a crime will prevent the crime, therefore I am concluding, at least in my own mind and word, that doing so is moot; especially since the language of the 2nd amendment is very clear.
Sadly the government doesn't agree with this position. The good news is that their own data contains the truth.
Well it's our government. If we don't like it, then it's our duty to change it. When's the last time to called your House Reps office?
I don't have a representative either at the State or Federal level.
Wait what?! That can't be!
If I approached any elected official with my concerns they would look at me like I had two heads. They may even get angry.
So? They are to represent you! This is where we are in America. Those who would support proper legislation to get us back under control are not vocal.
I beg you...find a piece of legislation in a committee right now, call your Rep's office and tell him/her to support it and why. We must become engaged or we are going to let those who ARE engaged take over.

The government is now a runaway train, heading for a wreck.Best to stay off the tracks.
Only solution, legal and Constitutional, is an article V convention of states at this point. Has your state passed the legislation to be a part of it yet?

Kalifornica won’t do it. They aren’t voting their constituencies but their consciences. Heavy dem state.
I have yet to see this idea floated, but I think this solution addresses the actual valid claims from the anti-2A side, while undoing the infringements that we have experienced ever since the NFA was passed. So here's the idea, and you tell me what you think (hopefully reading this with an open, pragmatic mind):
Repeal the entire NFA and GCA. No more 4473s, Form 1 or 4s, full auto, SBR, SBS, suppressors completely legalized, no mag bans, no more FFL middlemen or transfer fees, and no gun registries of any kind. 50-state federally approved concealed carry.
All of that in exchange for a national firearms license to purchase firearms, ammunition, and ignition media (ie: powder and primers). License would require background check and proficiency exam at a minimum. In order to purchase any firearm or ammunition, you'd need to show a license. This would also apply to both retail and private party transactions.
The only way a gun or ammo gets into the wrong hands is if A) They have no criminal record, or B) They break into your home and the guns/ammo are not secured (or they crack/cut your safe open).
I think I'd be willing to make that deal. How about you?
