    I think a lot of us confuse the tool capacity (hunting, self-defense) with actual “safety” and the powers that be in the government let the gun rights argument continue so that people keep wasting money on arms and ammunition, and the businesses lobbying those in charge get to keep selling generally unregulated or underegulated.
