I think that is a big part of it yes, but why? Personally I'm thinking its because people are buying into the loud voices who say that they are going to take away all guns, or assault rifles. I guess I don't understand them....I suppose I've just never really wanted an M-16 or AK style gun. I own enough guns for myself, but I've always found that for each individual purpose an AR or AK has a civil counterpart which is more suited to the role.
This is coupled by the fact that I don't buy into the hype. The fact that our stupid senators can or at least come damn near blocking any kind of vote or discussion in the senate means they will never take our guns away...maybe make it harder for wackjobs to get ahold of bushmasters but lets face it...this is the USA and I think we need to stop listening to the tinfoil crowd and NRA
