For over two hundreds years we have had total access to nearly every type of firearm and then Columbine in 1999; and many mass shootings since then. Our access to guns did not change. In other words, you could buy whatever you wanted. So what changed? The only portion of the equation that changed was the people. The access to the internet and the rise of social media has created a new generation of people with low morals and very poor social skills. The AR has been around for over 60 years. Now all of a sudden it is a problem.
People who believe the dogma that it's the gun, it's the gun, lack critical thinking skills and are easily manipulated by the media they watch. That is a major factor why this problem won't be solved.
Law abiding Americans will not voluntarily give up their guns. Forcing them to do so by law will end up with a repeat of 1776. The number of people who would die if such an event happened will make all mass shootings pale in comparison. Gun control fanatics are barking up the wrong tree.
The responsibility of maintaining our Freedom is up to each one of us. Even if you don't exercise your 2nd Amendment Right you should never surrender it. "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty".
