Yes! I agree, rifles and long arms are scary, as they are used in mass shootings at (suburban, white) school, churches, etc But iiuc handguns are a much larger, although less sensational, crime/violence issue. Urban kids have to deal with the threat of handguns everywhere.

Agreed and they become some blind spot in terms of the law where all the concerns for long guns can appear for pistols but they are met with shrugs unless the pistol isn’t really a pistol, like a mini-Uzi, then they freak out.
