I guess people downvote because they disagree with your view on gun regulation (which I do, too) that you use in your example.

I believe you make a good argument that people focus on scary-looking things rather than actually-scary things. The example you give is valid, too: Many people associate ARs with gun violence, while most victims of gun violence get killed by small handguns (source).

I’ll upvote your thoughtful comment!
