One or more of the following features

Pistol grip: A grip that "protrudes conspicuously" below the weapon, allowing the shooter to hold the rifle or shotgun like a pistol. Some people feel the pistol grip puts their wrist in a more comfortable position.

Forward grip: A second grip for the non-trigger hand.

Folding, telescopic, or detachable stock: The stock is the part of the gun that's held against the shoulder. A folding, telescopic, or detachable stock makes the weapon shorter so it can be stored or concealed more easily, and may allow the stock to be adjusted for different users.

Grenade launcher or rocket launcher: Attachments that allow grenades or rockets to be fired from the muzzle or a separate barrel. These can be used to fire flares, smoke rounds, or chalk rounds. Grenades that contain explosive material are expensive and heavily regulated, and must be registered with the federal government.

Barrel shroud: A ventilated covering that partially or completely encircles the barrel of a gun. This lets the shooter hold the barrel without being burned.

Threaded barrel: Threading at the tip of the barrel that allows attachments like silencers and flash suppressors to be mounted on the gun.

Flash suppressors, which reduce the chances that the shooter will be blinded by the flash in low light.

Bullet buttons: A recessed button that lets the user detach the magazine using the tip of a bullet or another small object. Since the magazine can't be released without a tool, it's considered fixed, not detachable.

Thumbhole stocks: A hole that lets the shooter put the thumb of their trigger hand through the stock. Since the grip doesn't "protrude conspicuously" below the weapon, in some states thumbhole stocks aren't considered pistol grips.

None of those things make a weapon deadlier than a 12 gauge shotgun.
(most of em are just plain silly.)

Yes, if we just banned all those nasty old guns, the terrorists would stop killing. They couldn't possibly get their guns from anywhere else..

Actually, up until Liberals came back to power, gun ownership was on the decline as a percentage. Every time the ban gun rants begin, sales skyrocket. Liberals, including the one in the Oval Office are a gun manufacturers best friends. They do more to boost sales than billion dollar ad campaigns.

In the UK we had a guy welding a knife attacking people at a train st and the police tazered him and then arrested him, that's how it should be done. Guns are unnecessary and should only be used in extreme circumstances, or in a controlled environment like a shooting range
There were also pipe bombs involved. And they were target training for a while. There was a long run-up to this.
