    As to that first point, you know we had AR-15s in the 70s, right? (No one gave a shit. They weren’t “cool” until the Assault Weapons Ban. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well…)

    You know guns were far easier to get back then? LOL, I got an old Mossberg 500 (think classic 12-gauge pump) that was branded Revelation. They sold those at Western Auto stores.

    It was no thing to see a dude with a loaded gun rack in his pickup. Point being, access is not the thing that changed.

    And the rest of your post? On. The. Money.
