I believe Liberals want to ban the AR-15 for two reasons...
1. The AR-15 is scary looking, it's that simple. The AR-15 is scary looking and it's easy to get people to think the AR-15 is bad because of the way it looks.
2. Here's the main reason why Liberals want to ban the AR-15. If Liberals are successful, they can then point to other guns as more powerful and say "We banned the AR-15 so we should ban all of these other weapons because they are more powerful and accurate."
That's why the big push to ban the AR-15.
The left wants to ban not only AR-15's, AK-47's and similar types, not because they look scary, the left looks at countries which banned firearms for the public in general (Soviet Union, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, China, et cetera) and sees that once the public is disarmed, they are no longer a threat to the government, once the oppressive laws are implemented. What we are seeing is the rise of a potential oppressive/tyrannical government and the only solution may be civil war.
What WE are seeing is the gunnutters are still trying to play the old Fear Game. Hate to break it to you but people are more afraid of losing their children to nutcases with "Legal" ARs than they are about whether you can have all the dangerous toys you want to play with.
Your whole thing is nothing but a Circus Act with a dog and pony. Get new materiel.
Your children have a better chance of being eaten by a bear in the middle of the city than being gunned down in a school by a mentally-ill person or terrorist (which you want to come in unvetted by the government, through open borders).
Apparently, you seem not to grasp that there are close to a HUNDRED MILLION private citizens who legally purchased lawful firearms in the USA and its territories...AND...aren't committing crime one with them, nor are any likely to. We are no threat to you, your family or, your friends.
People who own firearms are almost to a person, not a "nutter," as you seem to like to describe us. We own them, enjoy them on the range, or, also in my case, have a concealed carry permit and mind our own business.
You on the other hand, are the Socialist/Communist left that wants to disarm the very people who our founding fathers wanted to ensure were armed, should the domestic government ever become tyrannical, of which your government will likely become, as all strict Socialist/Communist countries do become.
