[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your typical deer rifle at .308 is way more powerful than a .223.

Literally the marine basic sniper rifle is very common to use for hunting.
You can buy some wicked assault rifles that fire .308 - you do not hear about them because as they are wickedly powerful they are expensive and so is the ammo for them.[/quote]

Short of an armored vehicle; nothing is stopping a .308.  I have put them through steel targets.  I’m not sure if an armored police vehicle could stop a .308 at close range.

I think the issue is a large amount of mass shooters are first time gun buyers and buying it to commit crimes/murder in short order.

I think anyone buying a semi-auto as first time gun owner should be 21 and have some waiting period and actual background check more than the basic atf form.
For buyers who have a concealed carry permit or have purchased other firearms it should be business as usual for simple purchase.

I think if focus on first time buyers- really of any semi auto it is reasonable to have additional vetting and like a 5 day period for local Leo to at least do some basic checking.
If their first gun is an assault rifle like at least Leo could do some mental health records search/domestic violence complaints of former addresses.
