I'm not questioning the technical merits or differences between various
styles of rifles. All it takes is one bullet fired from any type of
rifle to kill someone.

I'm questioning the *visual appeal* of "military-style" rifles,
especially those that go by the designation "assault rifle".

I'm wondering if there is a class of weapons-buyer that is turned off
(or would be turned off) by the prospect of buying an "ordinary-looking"
rifle if a law went into effect that banned military-style (ie -
military "looking") rifles.

Are there people that seek to buy or are attracted to buy
military-looking rifles JUST BECAUSE they LOOK more "awesome", deadly,
dangerous, than your ordinary run-of-the-mill hunting rifle?

Putting aside the legal/rights argument; If such people exist, are those
the people that you really want to own such weapons?

I like an adjustable stock so that my wife, who is less than 5', and I
6'2", can both shoot the same rifle.
