51. The primary fear is of another ban on "assault weapons,"
aka small-caliber civilian rifles with modern styling. Which happen to be the most popular centerfire rifles in America, and which the DLC has an obsession with outlawing.

19th-century-style hunting rifles aren't the issue; only 1 in 5 gun owners hunts. They/we are more concerned about new restrictions on so-called "assault weapons", spare parts, magazines, and ammunition, which are (IMO) unlikely but possible. But tens of millions of people got burned by the 1994 Feinstein law and are concerned about a repeat.
