Part of me feels that some of the anti-gun news coverage and concerns are driven by the concerns of the super wealthy.
I have no data to back this concern, but I feel with all their money and all the think tank they're financially backing there is a probably some prediction of the impact of AI into future employment and the growing inequality divide.
If you're super wealthy, the last thing you want is a large disenfranchised population without much prospect and sense of purpose in life with guns in their hands.
