It's long since overdue. The NRA has a stranglehold on our society and would have us all live in fear of one another, mixing racism and paranoia in good measure. American gun owners make up less than 1% of the world's population, but own 1/3rd of the world's guns, and nobody needs that many guns.

You don't need assault rifles for any reason other than mass murder or trying to overthrow the government, for one. Anyone who owns one should categorically fall under police suspicion.

What percentage of people who legally own these weapons commit a crime using them?

 

I wouldn't have a clue, but surely the right to own guns means the chance or opportunity to commit crimes is higher especially if you carry a gun with you
