The changes that happened since1950 are that the population of the US doubled and the tax money for everything from roads to mental health did NOT keep pace - also better public schools and a bigger and better Police Force did NOT keep pace. To that, add the change in the emphasis of the NRA and the GUN makers toward semi-auto military-style rifles with a higher profit margin and away from bolt-action hunting-type rifles. Add the change toward Civilian body armor and man-killing 30 round magazines.
