There was a sales flyer in the Sunday paper from Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Along with the typical hunting rifles and shotguns there were 4 different AR models on sale. You would NEVER have seen an ad like this back in the days before the assault weapons ban. Back then these rifles were sort of on the fringe and the average hunter or shooter had never even handled one. Modern rifles are becoming a common sight now and psychological effect on the general public is very positive because the more they see them the more they become the norm.
The AWB could never have passed had these rifles been as common then as they are now. The AR is becoming "traditional".
