Any other gun is still plenty deadly that my point stands.
But a lot of headlines talk about banning assault rifles so I used that term.
There’s a somewhat valid claim that pistols are good for self defense because they’re easy to carry. Will anyone use it for self defense? Statistically no. But the perception is there. Rifles, cosmetically altered or not do not have such a feature.
