Would gun marketing control be more effective than gun control?

[BrightKnight]

The gun manufacturers, NRA, and GOP are selling gun culture. Guns are marketed as an easy solution to real world problems. There will always be a pool people that respond to the in a dangerous way. The empirical evidence for this is overwhelming.

An “assault weapons” is all about functional cosmetic features like flash suppressors. The more functional cosmetic features the greater the sense of empowerment that they are actually selling.

There are regulations to how cigarettes can be marketed. The gun product design is related to the marketing but it might be more effective to go after that. I would switch to gun marketing control.
