You could make a long running TV show of "politicians say the stupidest things" , but you havn't found one yet who says what you need them to say to make the claim in question true.
You would have thought that the NRA with their legions of "dedicated followers" repeating their catchphrases would have been able to find a politician of some description who had backed up their claim of what they say politicians want.
The complete lack of any evidence of it does suggest that the claim has no actual foundation doesn't it.

Ok, he owns the smallest shotgun and the second smallest rifle and pistol as far as cartridge size is concerned.

Size isn't everything

What he doesn't seem to realize is that an AR-15 bullet is nearly the same size as a .22 yet he goes on to say that...
.30-06 is a common hunting round and is significantly larger than his .22 does he want weapons banned that fire that as well? At best his comments are ambiguous, at worst completely uneducated on the subject

.22 covers a wide range of ammunition of very varied capabilities, you would not say that a .22LR is the same as the 5.56 woud you? They are both .22 rounds, hell even an airgun pellet comes in a .22 version but it isn't the same is it.
As for the .30-06 thats a well established issue when it comes to self defence, nothing quite like shooting a neighbour in the house down the block after the round has gone through your burglar and your wall and their wall.
