Guess it was a right to own them 40, 50, 100, 200 years ago.

Bingo! That's just it.
Why is this a new problem? Why all of a sudden over the past twenty years do we have shootings like this? I mean, they happened before then, but never like this.
Thirty years ago firearms was for hunting or for target practice. Hunting was a rifle, and target practice - for my family - was shooting clays. My step father had beautiful hunting rifles and shotguns; They must have been worth a fortune! Now it's all AR15s and "home defense".
