Randy Barnett: proposed gun control fails even rationality test

Prof. Randy Barnett has an interesting post on the subject. "Assault weapons" are defined by cosmetic appearance, and this is irrational. NY limits magazines to seven rounds, but exempts police and retired police. If retired police need 7+ rounds for self defense, why don't other citizens?
If LOOKS COULD KILL, then the NY's cosmetic ban might actually be rational!
