Oh, I'm well aware and I'm part of that community, which is what makes this so hilarious. US gun legislation hasn't ever really been based on reality, and always amazes me that in a country where guns are such an integral part of its history and culture, we have people who seemingly know less than nothing about anything firearms related effectively making legislation based on something they saw in a movie that one time.
