  1. Daniel Schlobach - It's not a dumb question at all. There's an anti-gun control talking point that refers to "law abiding citizens", but many of those who commit mass shootings have no criminal record until they do the shooting.

  2. It's a MARKETING problem. Tobacco companies can't use cartoons and fruit flavors because they target kids who can't legally use the product. Military-looking rifles that hold dozens of rounds aren't marketed to hunters. Handguns are designed to use on humans - for self defense. "ARs" are marketed to wannabe soldiers. There's no legal purpose for them. Silencers are illegal for that reason. When do you legally need one? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible, rational people, but AR-type rifles attracted a different type.
