There is no differentiation between long guns in the law. If you are 18 years of age in many states you are legally allowed to buy or own a long gun. Obviously it's intended use, by law, is for hunting. Many families are so poor they rely on hunting deer, or even rabbits for food.
If you look at an AR 15, it looks pretty scary, right? But that scary sh!t is ALL cosmetic. It was deliberately added to a plain semi-automatic long gun to make it look more macho and more appealing to men.
You can CALL an AR15 an assault rifle, (inaccurately), but it is a SEMI-automatic rifle. Assault weapons are fully automatic. Fully automatic weapons are weapons of war.
You should not join the ranks of those who are completely ignorant about these weapons.
There is also a long gun available called the bolt action long gun. All rounds have to be loaded and ejected manually, one by one, which does seem sufficient for hunting, to me, BUT... a semi-automatic is good for someone who is a lousy shot.
I know you are upset about Uvalde, and other school shootings. I am, too.
