[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion as someone who fought in a war, the AR-15 is not a weapon of war. [/quote]
Honest question: why is that?  The AR-15 is basically an M-16 with the full auto disabled, and the M-16 was the primary battlefield firearm for the U.S. armed forces for many, many years.[/quote]You've basically got it. But that's a big difference.  Also, aside from the side-arm, the M-16 is the weakest "weapon of war" in the US arsenal.  Calling an AR-15 a weapon of war is like calling a Honda Civic a race car.[/quote]

Yup. The AR-15 is so weak the Las Vegas shooter was able to fire 2000 rounds and kill 57 people like shooting fish in a barrel from many yards away.

Such a 'weak' weapon.  [/quote]

In the interest of accuracy, literally ANY gun could’ve done the same thing in that scenario, firing into a crowd of people. Literally every single bullet fired is going to hit someone. The Vegas shooter fired 2,000 rounds in under one minute and wounded over 3,300 people and killed 57. So every single bullet he fired hit someone, and many of the bullets went through one person and then hit another. But any gun would’ve done the same thing in a tightly packed crowd like that.

That’s why it’s important to work to ban ALL of them, rather than focus on specific types or models. Because outlawing AR15’s while still allowing other types of guns will just ensure those other types of guns will be the ones used in the next massacre.

Ban them ALL. [/quote]
