Plus, handguns are entrenched in law by concealed carry. But both are subject to mag bans.This is what makes the AR such a focal point for the public and politicians. Many people are shot by gangs using pistols all the time; all those single events don't carry the same weight in the mind of the public as a mass shooting. And don't get the media coverage. Back when the 1968 GCA was passed, handguns were the focus. Which has shifted with the preponderance of AR's in private ownership.
Concealed carry - a movement spawned in large part by the 10+ round mag ban of the 94 Crime Bill.
