They don't know, and don't care. Too emotional to be rational.

They don’t know or care to know. They just do what the media says

They are the exact same thing used on the battlefield. No differences.

MILITARY GRADE

EDIT: Given the number of downvotes and the responses that I am getting, I will clarify that my post is a sarcastic one.

Because of how it looks

Kind of like how obama is black even though he is as much white as anything else, because it is how he looks, seems racist, kind of like how the confederacy classified people

There is zero difference. Both are semi automatic and some have just as many or higher capacity than an AR 15.

I’ll expain it the way I do to a non gun person. People are upset that fast cars are being driven into crowds of people at 100 mph. So the solution is to ban the BMW because it can go fast. Nevermind that my ford truck, ford car, or Porsche car, or Mercedes can go 100 mph and many other cars are more powerful than a BMW. It does not matter. The solution is to ban the BMW. The BMW is an AR 15 in the gun world.

AR15s are weapons of war.

It stands for Automatic Rifle 15.

They are much for dangerous than other firearms because you can kill people with the AR...

Tried having this discussion rationally, with people I know that are normally rational, and they quickly devolved into irrational. When they have no real argument, it gets ugly real fast.

When pressed on which guns would be okay, I was told, "none that are deadly"; "only those that shoot a single bullet", and "all guns should be banned".

According to a SJW on facebook:
The reason AR-15’s are used by murderers is because they look like military weapons. The fact that they look like an army rifle and scary illicit fantasies of killing humans in crazy people. They are so scary looking that their appearance somehow beguiles these innocent children and makes them commit mass murder. They can’t help or stop themselves because the weapon looks so terrifying.

I’ve seen you ask this over and over to no avail.

I have my own...

Why is it such a pressing issue to ban a weapon that kills a fraction of the 350ish total murders per year committed with rifles but there is zero thought given to banning the pistol? A weapon that kills over 7,000 people per year
And don’t give me the “The rate at which the AR can kill people”. That’s like saying you’d rather me break into ur home and steal $20 every day forever than break in once and take $100

“Other” kills more people than the AR each year

Libtards need to go big or go home...
ALL Semi-Autos or STFU. Anything less isn’t worth your time. Go ahead! DO IT!

They're sentient and can literally jump out of your closet/gun safe and go on a shooting spree on their own. I'd never allow AR15's in my house, and I sure as hell wouldn't let my daughter date an AR15.

Personally I can only think of one recent mass shooting where a Glock 17 wouldn't have been as deadly as an AR. But saying the damage done at this high school couldn't have been done with any other weapon is crazy talk.

Should all be banned let’s not stop at the ArmaLite 15.

Handgun, rifle, shotgun fine. That should be the limit of the 2A.

quote:

In United States v. Miller (1939), the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment did not protect weapon types not having a "reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia




Missles, hand grenades and rockets do not fit this definition. Neither should ArmaLite 15s and those arms banned under the assault weapons ban of the late 90s


News flash: if the Us Govt decided to arrest us all for whoever reason and put us in camps there is NOTHING any of you with AR-15s can do about it. The night of the military is unmatched and your excuse that you need these weapons to fend off the possible trannny of the Govt is a ruse.

Civilians do not “Need” these weapons.

It's the popularity of the AR-15. If you can take away the most popular weapon involved in these shootings it will be easier for them to get rid of the rest of them
