Maybe we should ban politician. Ban the #1? That is the epitome of assininity.

I've been reading about this. It is absolutely crazy to go after the No. 1. Apparently the "thinking" of those in government is since it can be chambered in large calibers it is much to dangerous for the common man.

I hadn't realized some countries had muzzle energy laws. Some seem pretty stupid.
Many parts of the world use muzzle energy to classify guns into categories that require different categories of licence. In general guns that have the potential to be more dangerous have tighter controls, while those of minimal energy, such as small air pistols or air rifles, require little more than user registration, or in some countries have no restrictions at all. Overview of gun laws by nation indicates the various approaches taken. Firearms regulation in the United Kingdom is a complicated example, but is demarked by muzzle energy as well as barrel length and ammunition diameter.
Some jurisdictions also stipulate minimum muzzle energies for safe hunting. For example, in Denmark rifle ammunition used for hunting the largest types of game there such as red deer must have a kinetic energy E100 (i.e.: at 100 m range) of at least 2700 J and a bullet mass of at least 9 g or alternatively an E100 of at least 2000 J and a bullet mass of at least 10 g.[3] Namibia specifies three levels of minimum muzzle energy for hunting, 1350 J for game such as springbok, 2700 J for game such as hartebeest and 5400 J for big game, together with a minimum caliber of 7 mm.[4]
In Germany airsoft guns with a muzzle energy of no more than 0.5 J are exempt from the gun law,[5] while air guns with a muzzle energy of no more than 7.5 J may be acquired without a firearms license.[6]
Mainland China uses a varied concept of "muzzle ratio kinetic energy" (Chinese: 枪口比动能), which is the quotient (ratio) of the muzzle energy divided by the bore cross sectional area, to distinguish genuine guns from "imitation" replicas like toy guns. The Ministry of Public Security unilaterally introduced the concept in 2008 leading up to the Beijing Olympic Games, dictating that anything over 1.8 J/cm2 to be defined as real firearms. This caused many existing toy gun products on the Chinese market (particularly airsoft) to become illegal overnight, as almost all airsoft guns shooting a standard 0.20 gram 6 mm pellet have a muzzle velocity over 250 ft/s (76 m/s), which translates to more than 0.58 J (0.43 ft⋅lbf) of muzzle energy, or 2.0536 J/cm2 of "ratio energy". For comparison a standard baseball changeup thrown at 75 mph (34 m/s) has 1.951 J/cm2 of "ratio energy" which also exceeds the 1.8 J/cm2 level of a real firearm while a fastball can reach over 3.5 J/cm2 or nearly double the level of a real firearm. The subsequent crackdowns by local law enforcement led to many seizures, arrests and prosecutions of individual owners for "trafficking and possession of illegal weapons" over the years for weapons that were previously permitted.
