you're words:

"I've argued often here the ar15 & its .223 rockets should be banned due to light recoil."

Politically, we mostly discuss the civilian terms "assault weapon and assault rifle" regarding restriction and regulation. Would it be fair to infer from your position, above, that a semi auto rifle firing .223 having a recoil energy below a certain amount would be subject to extra regulation while a somewhat similar rifle firing the same round with a higher recoil energy would not?

I know there would be figuring about what that energy would be but there might be something quantifiable in that reasoning that could serve as a point of discussion/negotiation.
