    Have you looked at every gun law drafted in the last 20 years? Every single one banning certain classes of guns only targets “assault weapons”, and every time, they have exemptions for cops or ex-cops. Handguns kill significantly more people, but “assault weapons” are scary and make liberal suburbans feel mortal for once so they irrationally hate them.

      Handguns kill significantly more people, but “assault weapons” are scary and make liberal suburbans feel mortal for once so they irrationally hate them.

      Because assault weapon are, like you said, being banned left and right, so handgun are more accessible than assault weapon.
