But people that choose to kill other people are the problem. The scary "assault rifles" do not account for the majority of murders, its handguns. Even if you account for the "other firearm" category it is still pistols.
The AR looks the part so it gets the statistically unjustified share of the spotlight.
I used the 2019 report because there are some questions on the accuracy of the 2020 and 2021 FBI data. Of course the 2022 is not out yet.
Again I am all about "gun control" that is not formed from a position of ignorance of weapons and talking points.
