When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

"Today, it is estimated that there are over 20 million AR-15 rifles in the U.S., most of which have been made domestically in the past two decades."

How do we all feel about this (if true)?

I doubt it is true. The correct number is probably 4 or 5 times that.

Personally, I am not a fan of the AR-15.
Ok. Don't buy one. Simple.

Yes, they are fun to shoot.

I find that an SKS is more fun to shoot than an AR-15. AK-47 is equally as fun. All three are magnificent examples of engineering.

Clearly, they add to the growing gun violence problem in the USA, Mexico and elsewhere.

Clearly? Criminals would not do crimes if one particular rifle was not in existence?
Mexican cartels would be back to bow & arrows?
Good to know.

I wonder what Mexican cartels and the Mafia used before Eugene Stoner invented the AR-15 in 1957.

Residents of England don't have AR-15s. How is there crime problem doing? Oh, that's right, they don't have a gun problem, they have a knife problem.

Actual gun crime statistics are that almost all gun-related crimes are done with a pistol not a rifle.
