How will you confiscate the millions of AR
15s?

Americans will comply with the law. It will be a mandatory buyback of AR-15 and AK-47s, weapons designed for war. Because we understand that theres no reason for a any of us to own a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield. Especially when that kind of weapon is so often used to kill and terrorize people throughout this country — in their schools, in their grocery stores, in their churches, in their synagogues, at concerts... everywhere. I have met countless AR and AK owners who say they don’t need it to hunt, they don’t need it for self defense, it’s fun to shoot but would give it up. Because they also have kids and grandkids and want them to be safe.

Which armies in the world use semi auto rifles for war? Can someone list them?

So these anonymous people are afraid that their AK or AR will somehow attack their grandkids unless they turn it over?!

Reddit shows over 12,500 downvotes to his reply so there’s some sentient life out there.

Nobody should buy this garbage.

What gun is incapable of killing people on a battlefield?

Before guns we used swords, axes, spears, etc...

That's what they'll eventually move on to if we cave. Never give a single inch of ground to progressives.

Never.

They're semi-automatic rifles just like any other semi-automatic rifles. They just look scary is all.

My 5 and 6 year old each know how to shoot a .22 already. We are super duper safe.

We do. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge 2A guy. But my AR at home is pretty close to my AR in Iraq.
But who cares? We should be allowed to own tanks and fighter jets as well as far as I’m concerned.

That’s the whole point

Even if what he is saying is true, which I highly doubt, he is making a HUGE assumption that the .0001% of people that have said this to him represent the majority of the people. He's full of $#it though. No way what he's saying is true.

I'm going hog hunting this weekend with my death machine. I'll get a head shot in Beto's honor.

Your "AR" in Iraq wasn't a semi-automatic rifle.

There are about 400 rifle deaths each year.

To put that in perspective, more people die from blunt objects (hammers, bats, etc) each year than rifles as well as more people are punched/kicked to death each year than rifles.

Rifles are safer than hands and feet.
