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.

The AR-15, an assault rifle, is the best selling firearm in America, and has been for awhile. Why, then, don't we see even a moderate amount of crimes being committed with assault rifles?

All the more reason for no-one to be buying them.
