Five used military-style rifles are all that is available in the rack that usually has over twenty new models for sale at Duke’s Sport Shop in New Castle, Pa.

President Barack Obama announced new measures Wednesday on a broad effort to reduce gun violence that include proposed bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines as well as more than a dozen executive orders aimed at circumventing congressional opposition to stricter gun control.
