"The Most Effective Weapon in the World"
This rifle can fire 16 bullets at once. It is capable of penetrating ballistic vests at 500 yards and can kill at 1000 yards. This rifle possesses a high-capacity bullet clip, a barrel shroud and on some models a pistol-grip style stock to allow spray firing from the hip.

The manufacturers proudly state that a resolute man armed with this rifle cannot be captured. The manufacturers also claim that it is a home defense and sporting weapon, but we know better. Nobody needs this kind of firepower. Anyone who owns this rifle only has it to kill cops and mass murder innocents.

This rifle was first manufactured in 1860 by the Henry Repeating Arms company, who deliberately overproduced it for the criminal market. In its sordid history the Henry Repeating Rifle facilitated the genocide of the Indians, the mass-murder of the Buffalo and killed over nine thousand babies.

This rifle should be restricted to police and military use only, and banned for civilian use.

In case you missed it, this is a parody of many of the things that have been said by gun control advocates about various guns over time.

I laughed out loud.

eta: you need to add a 'thing that goes up' and 'heat seeking bullets' as a nod to Rep McCarthy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_rifle

By 1873, you could buy a derivative (Evans repeating rifle) capable of firing 28 to 34 rounds as fast as you could aim:



The Evans rifle used a helical magazine, a predecessor of the modern Calico.
