If I can prove it can, should that be illegal?

Why should it be illegal? Did you not see that US v. Miller protects arms suitable as "ordinary military equipment"? Are you that uneducated or just stupid?

Dems quickly forget that the worst school shooting in the U.S was done with a standard 9mm and a .22.

The AR-15 has a shorter barrel than a standard hunting type rifle making it a little less accurate for longer shots, but easier to swing in a tight spot and spray shots. It is designed for combat, not sniping. The AR is also designed to handle a high capacity clip to fire off many more rounds than a standard rifle.

I can buy and install as long a barrel as I want, the US military as well as foreign militaries use purpose-built AR rifles in DMR and Sniper roles. Accuracy is easily achieved. Also, in nearly 20 years in the Army I have yet to see anything about spraying shots. That is a bullshite talking point you are mindlessly parroting.

First off, magazine. Second, any rifle that accepts a detachable box magazine can take higher capacity versions.

See, bolt-action "standard" rifle with detachable box magazine.

Spray shots? With a semi-automatic rifle?
Even if you could, why would you?

Yep, even the worst untrained shooters hit the 3x4 target paper at 25m, maybe not the 500m target, but they are on the sheet.

Stop talking about guns, baw, particularly repeating talking points you heard from the media or politicians.

So, sniping isn't "combat"?

How is the AR designed or constructed ANY differently than ANY other semiautomatic rifle ever, ever, that gives it this magical capability?

I'll hang up and listen.

The crawfishing here is astounding lol.

"Tell me how it's different" ok...1..2..3... " no it's functionally the same. Ok so it's the same. "No, no no, it does 1...2...3..." So it's different? "No, no, it's the exact same thing as my ranch rifle."

And around we go. Banning a style of weapon will not prevent all mass shootings. But every single statistic and study ever conducted shows it reduces mass causality situations. I'm sorry but that is flat out a fact. You can bring up inner city deaths all you want but that not the issue. The issue is will a weapon that you say is functionally no different than any other semi-auto reduce mass casualties? That answer is a resounding yes. You're brainwashed or just plain ignorant to argue the contrary.
