The NRA used to argue against CCW and AR ownership, shit, even the inventer Euegen Stoner never understood why a random civilian would want one...

It changed in the 70s when essentially a coup backed by lobbyists from gun manufacters happened. That's when it went from a hunting/conservation club to the rapid "pry it from my cold dead hands" modern NRA.

In 2026 there's a very good reason for CCW and AR ownership, but if we fix society so we're not under threat of fascists, that changes.
