Gun Control & RKBA

but owners of "assault weapons", over-10-round rifles/handguns, and over-5-round shotguns probably constitute 40-50% of gun owners, all told. Throw in owners of under-10-round handguns, and owners of pump-actions and other guns the gun control lobby would like to ban, and you rope in most of us. And if you drop that magazine limit to 7 as Bloomberg wants, you grab almost all handgun owners and a whole slew of additional rifle owners.

Your average semiauto-rifle or handgun owner may not be involved in the political side of the issue yet, but Bloomberg et al are trying very hard to make them involved.

I'm not an NRA member, but I have several guns in my gun safe that your side of the debate desperately wants to criminalize my ownership of, and I will energetically oppose that.
