My favourite dumb thing anti’s say is that they don’t want to divulge how they decide a rifle/features is banned so gun companies won’t be able to design around those rules. Like what’s the purpose of rules if you can’t follow it. Lol

The purpose of the rules is "fuck you"; sometimes they even say that quiet part out loud.

They want rules to ban as many guns as possible and have absolutely no limits.

It's in Murray Smith's cross-examination entered into record in the CCFR lawsuit.

This isn't even a bad paraphrase. He actually said pretty much exactly that.
