When crime statistics show far more people being kicked and beat to death, or stabbed to death, than are shot with rifles, and the news media is attacking rifles, something they said they would NEVER do 35 years ago, you know their ultimate goal is not to control rifles.
I admit to nitpicking but the gun grabbers have been going after guns for a longtime, even 35 years ago. They admitted in 1968 they were just getting started.
