I’m not saying reform isn’t the answer. I’m saying broad stroke reform gets us no where. You can’t come up and ban all semi autos. You have to have specifics. The gun industry is very good at finding the loopholes. You wanna know why they sell so many AR’s or MSRs as they’re now called? Marketing

This particular piece of legislation did not ban all types of semi automatic weapons. Just certain assault type weapons. “Specifics” as you call them. The legislation had a clear, undeniable positive effect on mass shooting. 

I’m sure that gun manufacturers tried to find loopholes when the legislation came into effect but the net overall was a reduction in mass shootings. 

As for marketing, that can easily be stopped just like the cigarette ads we all saw as kids.
