Gun Control & RKBA

It makes me wonder how many older, alterable weapons are in the hands of individual owners, or available to the public as compared to the number of weapons sold that cannot be altered. I know there is a crap ton of older weaponry out there, but I have no idea about sales numbers of newer weapons.

As to the controversy surrounding the frequent use of AR style rifles in mass shootings. It is not so much that the weapon is any more efficient than any other automatic weapon, but in a lot of cases, especially among easily influenced younger men, it's more the belief it is more efficient because of the style, and reputation of AR type rifles as killing machines.

Personally, I think it will take a democratically controlled government enacting new laws to give law enforcement the authority to do what every trumpublicans fears the most. Other than that, and recognizing that some advances have been made concerning gun laws, this is going to be a controversy that may never be settled one way or the other. At least not in most of our lifetimes. 🥴
