Regarding the POTUS/DOJ new gun control regulations, what is a " high powered Pistol " and crimes have they been committed with?

Im aware that the official list will come out in november but

are they talking of .357, ..44, Dessert EAgle, .500 S&W? if so how often are these used my mass shooters and criminals, when most criminals us cheap handguns ( Hi Points etc) that are not the quality of the above ones.

secondly why are they targeting " the mentally Ill". most mentally ill are not violent. Anti social personality disorder comes to mind as one that has some violence but even that is probably a small number. plus what would quality as involuntary committment? 72 hour hold? where as now it has to be more then 72 hours.

why are we restricting on domestic violence " perpetrators" when we are not restricting the fact that its quite easy to be convicted of domestic violence when it is not domestic violence
Update: So with expanding the criteria for diqualified persons are they going to include the person who are normally people without probelms but had a short term psych need due to circumstances and got back to normal? what is a mental illness? Aspergers, Autism? are they going to include ADHD? where do they draw the line?

They draw the line to eventually take all guns away. As yo say, criminal use cheap gun that they steal or buy fro another criminal. As you say most mentally ill are not violent and have no interest in being violent. It is the rare psychologically disabled person that uses guns to commit violence.

They are LAWFUL citizens' most popular choices and types least-ever used in crimes.
We can KNOW this because that's ALWAYS been their focus.
