This is correct. So far most legislation has been either just targeting things that look scary or impossible to enforce.

Hurr durr, let's ban pistol grips, unless they're on pistols. You know, pistols, the class of weapon with which the vast majority of gun violence is committed. God forbid anything that looks more modern than grandpapi's garand be legal.

Another problem is that gun control crows would eventually like to see a total gun ban and sees every measure as a stepping stone to that point.   


Makes sense that pro-gun people are very cautious when a lot of gun control people negotiate in bad faith.
