Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

The US doesn’t do that either. Very few people own assault rifles, you need a very expensive and difficult to obtain license and have since 1986. You’re falling for gun grabber propaganda.
This isn’t entirely true. Our gun laws are weird as fuck, and half of them seem designed to get around some sort of loophole or another.
To any reasonable person, a 10.5" AR-15 that looks like this:
In dozens of states including my own, you can freely purchase and own one without any sort of permit whatsoever, you just buy it.
The ar-15 is not an assault rifle. Regardless of how much cosmetic crap you throw on it, it’s semi auto. Not burst fire or full auto. It’s no more deadly than any number of wood stock semi auto hunting rifles.
I don’t think the license itself is the expensive part, the guns are (because they have to be old enough to be a collector’s item to be legal for civilian ownership even with the right paperwork)
