to the increased availability of them resulting from increased sales EVERY TIME a new mass murder is reported, and reported and reported and...

We have not as yet hit critical mass for long gun distribution to the degree that hand guns have, but it is coming at an alarming rate. The concept of market saturation does not appear to apply to weapons sales regardless of caliber, rate of fire, barrel length, portability, concealment factor, or prominence in films and TV programs or the News.

Of course the measure of collateral damage has not yet been applied, in law or in sales.

A sidelight of this is that one day we may need to begin mining operations in landfills to recover enough brass, copper and lead to continue the staggering rate of ammunition sales required when every American household has, and uses their constitutionally required firearms on a regular and frequent basis.
