The main thing about the VPC result is that they counted as "AW" many guns
that they
want to be on the list, but are unlikely to ever be put there. A more subtle complaint is that they counted _only_ what they considered "AW"s as a part of the whole. It is entirely possible that "4 out of 10" are committed with a .38 revolver -- with the implication that "more police officers lives would be saved" if revolvers were banned. But that result exposes the silliness of their underlying premise. --jcr To the general public, indeed I would say to most people, if the statement 4 of 10 of weapons used to kill officers in the line of duty were the "Acme abc" model firearm, then it would be
reasonable, not silly, for citizens to make an effort to ban Acme abc
model. An effort to diminish or reduce officers killed in the line of duty would
receive justifiable support. A reasonable adjunct to efforts to ban Acme abc
weapons would be to include similar/identical weapons which is what the assault
weapons ban was intended to accomplish.
