1. A gun for every occassion.

The propblem with the "responsible owner" approach is that there are far too many who are not, and cannot be identified.

5. Glocks are one of the best selling brands in the US.

the .45 is a high caliber pistol round. It's unusually and un-necessarily powerful and heavy imo. Police officers here in Georgia carry Glock .40s, and I think the most common pistol round is a 9mm.

7. There isn't a great deal of difference in power between the .45 ACP and the .40 S&W.

With a 200 grain bullet they are virtually identical. The .40 is a higher velocity, generating roughly twice the pressure levels of a .45. Typically the .45 relies on a higher bullet weight: 230 grain compared to a 180 grain .40 bullet. So the choice is bigger but slower and with a lower magazine capacity, or lighter and faster with a higher capacity magazine.

8. The other thing that happens after a mass shooting is that stock prices for gun manufacturers go up.
