Absurdity

I'm sure you've seen that the federal assault weapons ban has been allowed to expire, courtesy of the NRA U.S. Congress. What does that mean for you? Today's your lucky day, since you can now legally purchase any of 19 formerly-banned weapons (collect 'em all!). This includes the "Street Sweeper", a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun with a capacity of 12 rounds.

Bear in mind that according to regulations, it would be ILLEGAL to use this for duck (and small game) hunting, since you can have a maximum capacity of three rounds in a semi-auto that's used to shoot animals other than humans. Three measly rounds versus a savage duck?! It's a wonder more hunters haven't died at the hands of these fearsome fowl, with only three rounds with which to protect themselves!
