PS the AR 15 is demonstrably more dangerous than other guns. They were designed to kill many people quickly in combat. Any gun that can be used to manu people quickly should be banned. You can keep your 1791 muskets. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2018/02/15/4-basic-questions-about-the-ar-15/[/quote]

You're joking right.

An AR-15 is not "more dangerous" than an AK74/47.  They're about the same in terms of danger, but firearms enthusiasts debate back and forth which is a better riffle.

An AR-15 is not more dangerous than an AR-10 (its big brother which uses a larger round).  You could make the argument it is less dangerous due to a smaller calibur.

An AR-15 is not more dangerous than a Mini-14.  It just looks "scarier".  It too is a high capacity semi auto, but looks like a smaller version of a post ww2 design.

I personally find aimed accurate fire much more scary than "indiscriminate" fire.  Something like what happened at the University of Texas.

The AR-15 is just the one of the more popular designs out there right now.  The most popular rifle out there is probably the Ruger 10/22.

If any of those is designed or [b]capable of killing 20 children in 5 minutes[/b], they should be banned too. [/quote]
How many children do you think a Toyota Corolla can kill in 5 minutes?  How about an olympic sized swimming pool?  [/quote]

We can have a separate conversation about auto safety and universal swimming instruction. What we're talking about now is keeping combat weapons out of the hands of civilians.[/quote]

Just about any firearm used for hunting can kill lots of people in a short period of time.  Shotguns for example can cause more damage and require less aiming than a rifle (shot spreads outwards instead of a single bullet), and are less prone to jam in the hands of an inexperienced shooter.  [b]I'm not sure why mass shooters don't pick shotguns all that often.[/b]  They have less restrictions on them and tend to be cheaper too.

Shotguns are used by the military and SWAT teams as well, along with duck and deer hunters.

They can hold up to 9 shells/slugs at a time.[/quote]
Because the anti-gunners and the media (but I repeat myself) are out there telling crazies how awesome the AR-15 is for killing people?[/quote]
