I think the comment was more about politicians banning weapons based on how they look. It really doesn’t matter how a firearm aesthetically looks, and politicians should use their capabilities to determine if they should be banned. I know that this is an issue to a degree in the US. I don’t know about Canada.

I think the person I replied to was begging the question a little by saying "gun control advocates want to ban guns on how they look."

I dont think any serious participant in the discussion is saying guns are ok under any circumstances so long as if they look silly.
