The feature I want those weapons to have: it shouldn't be possible to kill people with them.

Is this too much to ask? "Not killing people", is this a liberal snowflake's wet dream?

"Not killing people"? Think about it.

Killing people is a socially accepted use of these weapons in the US. Home defense is a big one. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine

No it isn't. Homes in the U.S. are primarily built of wood, rifles can and will produce a tremendous amount of over penetration in such "self defense" scenarios.

The idea of some idiot who cannot comprehend ballistics in an emotional panic lacing up my neighborhood with a 30rd mag fed rifle is terrifying. Take some self defense courses please.
