Let's get it straight . AR stands for Armalite Rifle not assault rifle or automatic rifle. The public is so misinformed about this and you can't blame them when all the talking heads constantly call it an assault rifle. It's a cool looking rifle that uses a small round, that's it.

And before anyone asks I have one because I think it's fun to shoot . That's it.

Mine is definitely an assault rifle. I have to keep it locked up.

Yes but the banana clip has the ability to use the bump stock as a pogo stick and hop out of your safe at night and murder people.

And the weapon of choice to kill children.

I don't understand it either.

I have rifles to hunt with,but these ar's seem to be the shooter's choice for killing other kids.

Don't forget the other buzz words. "Military style assault rifle" and "weapons of war".

You're correct. The public is misinformed because the media doesn't know what they're reporting about.

Reporter thinks shotgun is AR15

We know that your party prefers killing them with forceps.

If I was planning to waste a large number of people, it wouldn't be with an AR.

please provide some statistics about what weapons are used to kill children. I think you will find that the ar15 is at the bottom of the list, and would be at the bottom of almost any list of items used to kill and demographic of people. But you don't care about facts or truth, you histrionic bitch

Spent the afternoon at the range trying to resolve a failure to extract fault on my AR pistol. Beautiful day. Shot 160 rounds (still did not resolve my problem though ).

I thought he dropped the boom on him with that line as well. I think I'll steal it too.

My weapon of mass murder is out of control. I need to body armor up just to get it out of the safe. I can actually here it in the safe as I approach. It is nearly uncontrollable, skeered to deal with it.

Let's get this straight, anything you use to assault someone is an assault "_______".. A good marksman could do the same damage with double Glocks and extended mags. Hell, he wouldn't even need extended mags in that case. It's just a way to pass a law and silently build on it on the federal level.

The worst massacre of school children was not committed with a firearm.

Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, which killed 38 elementary schoolchildren and six adults and injured at least 58 other people with a homemade bomb

There have been 371 children killed in school shootings since the late 1800s, the vast majority with a firearm other than a AR15.

The vast majority, and I mean vast majority, of people killed with a firearm are with a handgun.

This is a fallacy (various ones actually). There will always be a "most efficient" way to kill someone (and I'm NOT saying this is it--just arguendo).

Where do you stop...rocks? Wait, I know where you stop: The Second Amendment To The Constitution Of The United States Of America.
