Answer :

I was trying to get my head around this as I drove to work today. Why is it so prevalent here, although we do seem to be spreading it around a bit. The insistence of the NRA and others on the huge magazines and the assault weapons is insane. No one needs a 30 round magazine. I grew up hunting with a single shot rifle or a 5 round shotgun. I don’t have a good reason it occurs here so much. I’ll watch your other responses with interest.
