John does a good job of showing how the Mediacracy tries to shape our understanding of reality.

I always remember reading in a 1970s issue of American Rifleman a story regarding a recent interview that Jack Lord (Hawaii Five-O) did in which he said he was all for banning handguns and other such strict gun control measures.

Mine must be defective, then.

2018 data:
Of over 14000 murders, fewer than 300 were committed with rifles.
(There is no breakout by "type" of rifle, so no AR data)
So, banning ARs would have no meaningful affect on the murder rate.

And all the ARs are full auto... That shoot plastic heat seeking bullets that can turn corners on a dime. They also all have the shoulder thing that goes up..

So, banning ARs would have no meaningful affect on the murder rate. Exactly correct.
Legislation restricting firearms is not about reducing crime.
It is about exerting political power and control.
It is showing the "governed" who is master and who is servant.
It is all about reversing the idea that in the United States, the people are sovereign.

Even “reality” shows are fidiots. On Bearing Sea Gold last week, the Kelly crew are wanting to dive near the town of Elim AK and the locals ain’t happy and fire a couple shots. One of the Kelly’s says “One of them has an AR-15!” OH NOES! Guess that’s more deadly than say a .308 or an old 30-06 hunting rifle. The nets have done their job of turning a mediocre round into something that could take down the International Space Station with a single shot. Grrrrrrrrrr!

This is another data point showing how popular the AR-15 type rifles are for hunting and subsistence above the Arctic Circle.
There are examples of polar and grizzly bears being easily brought down with the AR-15 and the .223 caliber.
My suspicion is most examples are never publicized.

Ever notice how guns are always referred to as registered or not on “entertainment” TV? To the best of my knowledge only a few jurisdictions require gun registration: Hawaii, DC, NYC come to mind as the only jurisdictions where the local tyrants and their jackboots require registration.

I do not know if it is part of a "style" book somewhere, or just a cultural thing, as the gatekeepers of screenwriters would not allow other nomenclature.
Robert A. Heinlein documented how he was forced to write-in gun registration into his novel Red Planet.

No different from the TV programing of 1968-1985 after Bobby Kennedy was murdered.

Many years ago I prevented a home (apartment) invasion one night by answering the door with a cocked Hafdasa Mollina in my hand. It was never reported, and I moved out of the neighborhood less than two weeks later.

I had and carried one of those for a while.
A decent, well made pistol.

I prevented a robbery or a beating once...with just my hand in my pocket.
Was enough to give pause to the A-Hole....
