Zone1 There's no rational, reasoned argument for a ban on AR15s

[M14 Shooter]

Every time an AR15 is used in a mass shooting - and quite often, even when they aren't - the anti-gun left, in a pre-packaged reactionary response , screams from a ban on same, complete with "information" designed to evoke an emotional response, and, they hope, gain your support for said ban.

What do they NOT tell you?

-American civilians own ~20,000,000 AR15s
-Of the 636 mas shootings in the US, 2022, 8 involved an AR15
-OF the 660 people killed in those mass shootings 54 were killed with an AR15.

Why do they not tell you this?

Because they know there's no sound argument for the ban they call for.
Because they know they need to prey on the emotions of the ignorant to move their ban forward
Because they know preying on the emotions of the ignorant works.
Because they don't care about mass shootings or the people in them - they just want to ban AR15s.

There's no rational, reasoned argument for a ban on AR15s; those who support said ban, in their responses, will demonstrate the truth of this statement.

Finally established and agreed upon number of mass shooting!

Some Shooters are over-anxious to make a point of defending the use of military copy guns, that they start by shooting their foot off.

However, on the positive side, the topic has been introduced again!

There's no reason to ban AR-15's.

The problem is the culture that causes them to be so popular, but a culture can't be banned!

for it to be a culture problem it takes a lot more than 636 people out of 340 million,,

Huge marches lately about the latest mass shooting, people protesting, holding up signs. People who take up causes have generally lost their own. Such demonstrations and outcries reveal that lots of people have lost their own cause.

I think he was referring to the owners of the 20 million AR-15's, a culture that goes back to the founding.

We can at least start by understanding that it isn't the guns to be blamed.

However, there's no doubt that the easy access to a gun within the hour does facilitate the shootings.

The number of mass shootings has only been established as 636. That's not anything to do with the *30-40,000 shootings every year.

* not known.
