Soviet bloc AK's aren't very expensive. I've been looking at them for quite a while. I want a milled receiver, but stockpiling yet another caliber is what has stopped me, I think.

I was obviously referring to the recording artist.

No one needs and automatic rifle that shoots 15 bullets a second.

An ar-3 or sar-15 might be practical.

Is it really "always" an AR-15?

Broward County, Las Vegas, The Texas Church shooting, and the Orlando Night Club are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

So is an AK, and they are more dangerous imo.

So off the top of your head, 3 of the 5 deadliest mass shootings in US history. And then the one last week. Yeah, nothing to see here.

Then perhaps capitalize the "P"? And maybe refer to IQ and dick in the singular? I mean, I'm no scholar, but if you read the post for what it says, then if you are indeed referring to the recording artist, he has multiple IQs and multiple dicks.

Would it make you feel better if it were another gun? I have 25 round magazines for my Ruger 10/22 squirrel guns.

Yeah, go price an Arsenal and see what a basic AR15 goes for right now.

You can spend 10K for a 12ga. shotgun too, but that doesn't mean a $200 12ga. isn't a real one.

But that isn't "always". the AR-15 is more of recent phenomenon.

The reason is the AR-15 is kind of like a Ford-150. There are a ton of them out there, they are reliable, and relatively inexpensive.

It is the most popular sport rifle on the market today. The reason it is used as much is due to its popularity.

The shootings could have been much worse with AK's or Bushmasters.

It’s always the AR-15 because Colt pays for advertising

Columbine was just pistols I believe in the middle of an assault weapon ban. You can take away whatever you want, the crazies will just use something else. Why have vans and trucks become so popular for mass killings in Europe?

Reliability.

Spencer Stone and many other people would have been killed on the train to Paris but the terrorist's AK-47 jammed.
