Original Note:
“Military-style weapons” are already banned under the NFA unless made before 1986. Similar looking semi-automatic guns kill less than 400 per year according to the FBI. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls In contrast, vehicles kill 711 children per year and are not constitutionally protected items. https://cdc.gov/transportationsafety/child_passenger_safety/cps-factsheet.html
