The Firearm They Don't Want You to See

We’ve been told, especially in more Liberal and Democratic families, that firearms are these big, scary, black weapons of war that weigh as much as 10 moving boxes and sounds like a cannon. But are they really like that? Or is that just part of their agenda to remove our Second Amendment Rights?
To Start: Debunking the Lies and Mistruths Told
These are all the lies, mistruths, and straight up word salads told by politicians, from Congress to the White House.
Number One: No, a pistol doesn’t magically fire a larger caliber once it has a brace and larger magazine. Biden disagrees though. Image: A Glock Handgun with a stabilizing brace and a telescopic optic. (Google Images)
Number Two: It doesn’t weigh as much as ten moving boxes (which should be 30 lbs each, meaning it weighs 300 lbs altogether.)
Number Three: Bit of a bad move, same person as number two; Sheila Lee, Democratic Rep. for Texas District 18, born in Queens. Explains a lot. The AR-15 doesn’t fire .50 caliber bullets. Not sure what kind of .50. Action Express, BMG, Beowulf, or whatever. (Number Two and Three from this video.)
The AR-15 is not a weapon of war. Matter of fact, AR doesn’t even stand for Assault Rifle! Who woulda thunk? It actually stands for Armalite Rifle, then 15, which is the model.
Fun fact: The AR-15, and the common 5.56/.223 round it fires, does not pulverize a deer, contrary to Florida Democrat Jared Moskowitz. For a Floridian, he knows surprisingly little.
To Continue: The Fudds Behind These Laws
The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms,) as of recently, has been making incredibly dumb laws. Do you know the best part? The Director can’t even lock back the slide on a Glock handgun. Reminder: This is the person in charge of making a lot of these gun laws nationwide. Furthermore, the ATF in itself is rather stupid and useless. Remember Ruby Ridge? Waco? Here, let this spark your memory

What Should We Have Instead?
This is an incredibly difficult decision. Is it a lesser evil, like if Kim Jong Un dies and is succeeded by someone even worse? Or will it be better for the nation? Well, that’s the argument. Overall, the ATF should be abolished. No catch. And gun laws? Repeal the National Firearms Act, the Firearm Owners’ “Protection” Act, and that’s a good start. But then what? Unfortunately, this won’t be a one and done issue, and it isn't a cut and dry problem.
On one hand, yes, there should be some level of gun control, but on the other, how much? What’s the amount of control that is too restrictive? As I said before, there won’t be a cut and dry solution.
So What Is The Firearm I Should See?
Now this is another good point. The firearm you should see is well… any firearm. Firearms don’t kill people. People kill people. Well, with the exception of Sigs. They have a habit of going off once dropped.
