no difference in crime rates because nothing changed. And the latest FBI data shows rifles account for murders in the 500 range (that's all rifles, including the scary black one). Even shotguns were used more than rifles. And what really bothers me are the folks who listen to media trying to tell them these are fully automatic weapons that SWAT and the military uses.
