The obsession with "assault rifles" for most is psychological,
irrational, and a result of a manipulative mass media, blowing out of
proportion what are superficially horrific "massacres," but
statistically rare (a fraction of 1% of all gun violence). On an
institutional level, the obsession with "assault rifles" stems from the
fact that semi-automatic rifles are the standard arms of modern combat,
just as muskets were when the 2nd Amendment was first put to parchment.
For a runaway tyranny, tens of millions of rifles in the hands of its
citizenry poses a major obstacle for further exploitation and expansion
both at home and abroad.
The corporate-financier driven mass-media - be they faux "left" and
anti-gun, or faux "right" and pro-gun, are here to ensure we chase our
tails endlessly in debate while the government pragmatically eliminates
our ability to arm ourselves, all while the violence continues unabated.
The purpose is to prevent us from stepping back, and actually doing
something constructive to both protect our rights and improve the
conditions our communities are suffering from. We are subconsciously
preparing for a confrontation we will never win, because it is one that
will be "pushed back" indefinitely until all the weapons have been
banned, confiscated, or sufficiently regulated out of practical use.
