Just look around and pay a bit of attention ..no real wisdom required.
Since they were first introduced, the AR style rifles were seen by some as a neat new shooting tool .. and they are. However there were many more who viewed it as a tool of combat and a lethal weapon that had no place in any application other than Military or Law Enforcement. Unfortunately, due to some mass shootings, not only in the US, that destructive ability has been viewed by millions and proven to be true. Today it has, rightly or wrongly, become a
symbol of mass destruction... especially the destruction of vulnerable children and young people. If we can stop the rapidly rising tide of those who recognize and support that symbol, there may be a chance to see high capacity mags and similarly styled firearms become readily available and visible everywhere. Until then, it may be best to accept the fact that they are simply not cool anymore. A few weirdos have seen to that.
