In an amicus brief Illinois filed in support of Cook County's "assault weapon" ban, the state argues that rifles with barrel shrouds can be banned because they "'allow the shooter to attach various accessories' like lights, optical sights, and laser aiming devices", all of which are "unnecessary for self-defense": firearmspolicy.org/viramontes

@gunpolicy So this "professional" is an "expert" because he spent 25 yrs working in sales for Kimber.... So he's not a scientist, engineer, nor someone having military experience with the weapon system he's an "expert" on. His entire argument: "X didn't exist 25yrs ago so it shouldn't now"
