Which weapons would it ban? I'm guessing they're not as effective as the millions of other guns that don't have lasers.

Tek 9: Excellent for gang warfare and robbing liquor stores due to its high capacity magazine and easy concealment. No laser on it.

AK-47 long and non-assault (wood stock) version: Specifically designed for close range military use. Its loose tolerances make the gun extremely reliable, but not very accurate. Might be a good weapon for drive by shootings because 7.62x39 is a pretty powerful round that won't be slowed down by the walls of a house.

M1 Garand: The gun that won the war. Good for medium range gang warfare. It's accurate enough to hit Tyrone in the head from across the parking lot.

M107: This is 0.50 caliber, semi-automatic sniper rifle. It's great for extreme long range gang warfare. Long range rifles are great for lowering morale among rival gangs because the target literally dies before the sound of the gun shot reaches them, and the shooter can be far enough away that the target can't see them either. That fear of being shot with no warning might prevent rival gangs from hanging out on the porch, hanging out in the parking lot, or going outside in general. It can also be used as an anti-material rifle. One shot from this thing will destroy a car's engine.

Serious question: why do gangs NEVER use hunting rifles? That seems like such a logical choice. You could take guys down from 300 yards away.

Where would they hide it? Up their ass??
