It's quite simple, really: the Second Amendment was created solely for the white man to dominate Native Americans and African slaves.

Even today, who supports the 2A? Conservatives - aka, white supremacists, who feel they need guns to protect themselves from African Americans, who they perceive as a constant threat.

Substantially lower rate of firearms ownership. So no, it definitely isn't as easy. The more relevant question would be why weren't disgruntled kids shoot up schools when we had no storage laws?
Canada has always had (or at least for the last +/- 100 years?) some form of gun restrictions and registration has it not?

Hand guns have been restricted and required registration for as long as I can remember, and now I am too lazy to look it up.

It's a semi-auto variant of the most commonly used infantry weapon. Same as the musket when the 2nd was written. D.C. v Heller showed us that we have a constitutional right to keep weapons in case of confrontation to protect ourselves. The AR has become the most commonly used home protection platform and banning the entire class would be unconstitutional. There are far deadlier weapons available than a .223 rifle.
I think it depends on the gun and scenario when defining what's more dangerous. For example, someone taking an AR pistol with 30-40 round mag into a school will likely cause much more damage than someone who takes a bolt action .308 or 300 into a school.

Why are people talking about AR-15s? The shooter used a shotgun and a revolver. Not a rifle.

They've required registration since (I believe) the 70's, but there were no storage laws until the early 90's. So leaving a loaded handgun in your nightstand was something that could, and did, happen.

FWIW, the U.S. has also had firearms restrictions since the 30's.

I dunno man. You mount a red dot on a .338 Lapua and pockets full of mags, you’re talking 4500ft-lbs of energy vs around 1100ft-lbs of a .223 AR. You’re going to be able to penetrate a lot of tissue in a hallway or classroom with that.

But your average person isn’t going to have a Lapua Mag laying around.
