Why are AR15s legal?

Because deer run fast and it's hard to hit 'em after I've spent several hours drinking beer with my buddies in a tree fort dressed up in our camo costumes. Those guns improve our odds of hitting 'em, and I need to bring home something to prove to Suzy that I'm not spending my hunting weekend having an affair. (But please don't tell Suzy about our Brokeback Mountain adventures.)

FWIW, hunting deer with an AR15 isn't legal everywhere, or ethical anywhere because .223 is too small a caliber to kill a deer humanely.

The fact that it's legal *anywhere* is appalling. SMH.

See how gross this is? The link goes to an article about hunting with AR15s. It's a thing.

And as we know, AR15s are also used to hunt kids at school. Disgusting.

Listen, Dave...I'm not afraid of you walking into a classroom with a Budweiser...but I am afraid of you walking into a classroom with a gun.

No, that is not a list of firearms specifically banned, that is a definition and nothing more.

That would have been glaringly obvious for anyone who paid attention to the fact that AR15's were available for sale throughout the ban

BOOM! Nailed it:

Amiright?

Nailed What? That they still haven't provided a list of specifically banned weapons? If that is what the list in the definition was AR15s wouldn't have been able to be sold to the public during the ban......... But somehow they were still sold

I've read that AR15s are useless, except for killing kids. Alcohol is good for killing germs and livers, and causing massive pileups on the highway. If there's ever a thing that we could reasonably argue isn't necessary for an advanced society, it's alcohol. I bet it would be easy to ban too. What could possibly go wrong if the federal government stepped in and decided that nobody should have alcohol anymore? I mean, people aren't going to start killing over it. That's crazy talk. Now apply that simple formula to guns and realize how silly this whole thing is. Why don't we just stop beating around the bush and ban killing people, and sad puppies while we're at it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Yes, and Venezuela would be a perfect example of socialism in practice if it weren't for all the starving Venezuelans.

How about a bomb in a backpack? Or maybe a Uhaul truck plowing through the school's playground while the kindergartners are on recess?

The bomb/truck/knife attacks in the parts of Europe with strict gun control seem to work pretty effective. It's almost as if evil people who want to hurt others, do evil things regardless of if one tool or another is unavailable

Agreed. So let's do more to prevent kids from getting their hands on any and all weapons...including guns and chemicals to make bombs, right?

Anyone know the last school shooting where the shooter wasn't on mind-altering drugs?

Serious question. Since they all fit that pattern, but it's the one thing we can't talk about because the left doesn't want to offend crazies, and the networks don't want to offend their advertisers. But people used to bring their rifles to school to hunt before they got home, and nobody was shooting the place up then. Now that every kid is on some drug (which isn't even tested on kids btw!!) there are loads of school shootings and every one of the shooters is either on those drugs or coming off of them. Including Cruz, according to his aunt.

No? Yeah, me neither.

Hey what school are you going to shoot up?

A mentally ill person kills a bunch of students and your response is take away guns? Try again. You won’t be restricting my rights because of some wacko. Not today. Not ever.

Not today - ok yeah, you are right.
Not ever - I believe you are wrong. And that’s why I donate and continue to support gun control candidates.
