[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3225784, member: 43724"] Hell, I'm only 8 years younger than you and even I could remember a time when it was nothing to see rifles in the back windows of trucks. The problem is your comparing social acceptance of rifles/shotguns to a rifle that has the mainstream media bashing it for the past 20+ years. Social perception is everything. Case in point: look at the battle over weed. Until the spread of reefer madness no one gave two craps on a stick about it. And before you go there, yes I know weed isn't a right, I'm using it show how social perception of something leads to regulation and/or outright bans. Not only that, but even back then people would have probably called the police if some guy walked into a neighborhood park with a shotgun over his shoulder as there would be no reasonable explanation for someone to carry that firearm in that area. Walking down a country road? Sure. Maybe walking through a small town? Probably. In a city like Norman or OKC? People would have called the cops. Of course back then they would have had to run to a corner store or a nearby house, but you get the drift. As I said, simply stating "Its his right!" does nothing. You'll be yelling that til you turn blue in the face while the libbies pass regulation after regulation because the ignorant populace buys their song and dance, and idiots like these people back up that perception.
