Original Note:
Biden does not want to ban most guns. The White House advocates for congress to pass an assault weapons ban. ~5.1% (20M) guns owned in the US are AR15 style assault weapons. US production has risen to ~23.4%. Both numbers are far from “most” as stated by Greene. https://www.businessinsider.com/us-20-million-ar-15-style-rifles-in-circulation-2022-5?amp https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/ar15-rifle-nashville-school-shooting-b2310833.html https://www.whitehouse.gov/ogvp/#:~:text=Requiring%20background%20checks%20for%20all,gun%20violence%20prevention%20and%20intervention. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2022/07/20/record-28-million-ar-15-and-ak-style-rifles-entered-us-circulation-in-2020-gun-group-says/amp/
