You don't even get it. It's not about getting murder rates down. It's about defending ourselves against militarized police forces. Especially in an era of a fascist "Law & Order" leader who'd love nothing better than to write his own media and use law enforcement to silence his detractors. Go ahead and laugh. You'd be surprised the fight a few thousand well armed citizens could put up even against the US military!
You want to reduce the firepower owned by the public? Then start with demilitarizing police forces. Because if a weapon is legal for a local police force to use, then it should be legal for private citizens.
Btw- This has nothing to do with common sense gun control such as waiting periods, mental health checks, etc.
