It’s much easier to make smaws by putting a marshmallow on a stick and holding it over a fire. However, I suppose a rocket launcher could achieve a roughly similar effect…

So *that’s* an assault weapon.
Well then I’m all for a ban. No need for those to be in the hands of hunters. Prolly shoots cop-killing ammo too.

Yeah. There’s no reason these should be sold at gun shows without background checks, either.

And don’t even get me started on the bayonet lug and the shoulder thing that goes up.
