Murder, on the other hand, is a capital offense.
So let me see if I understand this... you seem to prefer for the law-abiding common folk to be forced to depend on the police and first responders to protect them from the criminal element. Ignorance... such a bliss.

Also, who are you to tell anyone what weapon they need for home defense? If I want to use an AR pistol for home defense, it's my prerogative. If I want to use a blunderbuss, again it's my prerogative. It's also my prerogative if I even want to own a gun.

And don't play stupid. You know exactly what kind of weapons were designed for combat in urban environments, especially as a gun nut.

Bookings down? How about share price?
These are calculated moves within the background of a changing public attitude.
Look outside your close network of like-minded friends and like-minded news outlets. It can be refreshing.

Vast majority of Americans want more regulations controlling guns. Regurgitation of NRA talking points don't cut it anymore. Elected officials with A ratings from the NRA will pay the price in November.

Where is the outrage?
2 high schoolers killed and one severely injured by a drunk driver.
Alleged drunk driver kills high school students from Nevada Union in Grass Valley | The Sacramento Bee
Where is the outrage?
29 people killed every day in the U.S.by drunk drivers.
https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving
In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle.
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/s...apon-myth.html
From the piece,
"The continuing focus on "assault weapons" stems from the media’s obsessive focus on mass shootings, which disproportionately involve weapons like the AR-15, a civilian version of the military M16 rifle. This, in turn, obscures some grim truths about who is really dying from gunshots."
Facts are facts.

No, I really don't know what your idea of "weapons designed for combat in urban environments" is. You may want to stop and re-read what you wrote.

Let’s get rid of all safety FAR’s because heart disease kills more people than aircraft crashes.
