My hot take - if you own an AR-15 you have a few loose screws

Why in the world would you need several assault weapons? You need more than one?

AR 15’s are not an assault rifle.

Semantics.

The law is written using semantics.

How would you word “civilian version of guns designed to maximize human carnage”?

So that really comes down to two reasons: (1) you intend to massacre a group of people as quickly and efficiently as possible or (2) because you LARP as an "operator" and somehow that gives you a sense of self-worth and confidence.

There's no reason to own this fire arm, unless you're a bit of a nutcase.

The. End.

The “standard” caliber of the AR15 (.233 or 5.56mm) is generally banned for hunting larger game (deer, etc) because the bullet is too small to kill game animals quickly and humanely. So much for your idiotic “DiSiNteRgraTe tHe MeAt!!!” nonsense….

The small, high speed 55grain bullet from the AR is terrible for penetrating walls because it has very little mass, and begins to shatter into fragments when it hits a hard surface. Slower moving and heavier pistol bullets like the 9mm you cite as “safer” actually penetrate residential walls far better than .223 rifle bullets…. Again, thanks for demonstrating you know nothing about the science here.


If the only reason for having an AR15 is to massacre large numbers of people quickly and efficiently - then why is there an AR15 in the trunk of literally every police car in this country? What large numbers of people are police planning on massacring quickly and efficiently?

You're sort of right and sort of wrong about the ballistics. Yes, the reason they ban .223 bullets for hunting deer is because they tend to wound larger animals rather than kill them instantly, but trying to kill a single deer and trying to kill 19 schoolchildren are different scenarios. No one is trying to shoot 19 deer in a field as quickly as possible; if they were they'd never pick a .30-06 because the recoil would make it really difficult to fire 19 times with enough accuracy to do that. There's a reason the military went with the 5.56 rather than 7.62, and part of it is that in an environment where you're shooting a lot of rounds at a lot of targets, it's a better choice; unfortunately that utility is there even in a classroom.

Also, all of the "actually, it's NOT a great weapon for a mass shooting" people have to explain why so many mass shooters pick it. None of you have done that.

And the thing about the AR 15 that the Ammosexuals love is that it can be configured to different calibers. And yet they trot out the ".223 is the standard" argument all the time to cloud the issue.

If it's so harmless then why do school shooters choose it then?

Btw I distinguish between responsible gun owners and Ammosexuals. I grew up around responsible gun owners. They didn't need to open carry a rifle into Wendy's. They didn't stick handguns into the waist of their jeans or yoga pants.

Because it’s THE most common rifle in America. That’s why. It’s the single most common rifle out there. Of the probably one hundred million rifles of all types in this country, 25% of them are AR15’s, and another 20% are similar in function but of a different design and nomenclature. So essentially, 45% of all rifles are AR15-type rifles.


There are more AR15’s than there are minivans on the road. All minivans, of all manufacturers put together. Ponder that while sitting in traffic.

How about this. We've been trying your way (no restrictions at all) and its not working. Just for kicks, lets try the other way and just see what happens? Because your way is not working.

We have over 20,000 federal, state and local gun laws and bans in place currently in this country.

I’d hardly call that “no restrictions”.

Fewer restrictions than owning/driving a car. Or adopting a dog.

Don’t be obtuse.

I don't know that any empirical data is available on that, but as a gun owner, my guess is that it has a lot to do with marketing. There are a wide variety of other (and in my opinion, better quality) rifles out there, but the marketing campaign behind AR-15 style weapons from various manufacturers is overwhelming. It's been my experience that even those with little knowledge of firearms know what an AR-15 is and have seen one on t.v. shows or in the movies. So when they walk into a gun store for the first time, it is easy for them to just request an AR-15. The AR-15 platform is also like a kit car in that is easily modifiable and there are a ton of custom parts and accessories available ... more so than many other options.

It has been the most popular seller for decades that’s why.

Prohibition failed with alcohol and the same thing is true for an assault weapons ban.

PP here. I get that; I'm just trying to offer up some reasons as to why it is so popular. I would add that the fact that there are so many manufacturers of the platform over the last 30+ years has kept the price down and kept supply readily available.

It worked really well after the attempted assassination of Reagan, until fellow republicans repealed it. And the mass shootings started. Are you 20 or something?

Telling how some spend time defending indispensable status quo rather than coming up with actual solutions to this uniquely American disease. Gun fetishism highlights the fragility of the American Male Psyche - but until reasonable adult gun-owners set up and say - nah, that is f-ed up we can't have 20 year old losers strutting around fast food joints with a AR-15 (or a dummy rocket launcher...) or even worse in their mothers or grandparents basement plotting their revenge against the world that hasn't embraced them...

We'll always have angry young men who don't have the emotional regulation, self awareness or cognitive capacity to be trusted with killing machines - there is a reason rental car companies won't even rent you a Ford until you are 25. The problem we have is that the adults beyond that age haven't taken responsibility to mitigate those harms in the worship of "freedoms".

Kids who have to grow up doing "active shooter" drills isn't the hallmark of a free country as I understand it - and this latest in this long line of horrors has opened a lot of eyes at how *all of us* have let this happen. We can and must do better.
