It’s not about just the abbreviation, it’s the fact that you and a ton of others in here think the AR-15 is somehow more dangerous than any other semi auto rifle. When it’s not. The amount of people killed each year with all rifles combined, is 1/3rd the number of people killed with knives and 1/2 of those killed with feet/hands, which shows you’re not here for a solution to people dying, you’re here to ban something you have no clue about because the media and politicians tell you it’s scary.
That’s you’re starting point…you literally said regulate all guns…aka I want them all banned. And while you may have not said it specifically in this thread, you’re still wanting to regulate something you don’t understand.
You also seem very confused about what regulation means.
I want all cars regulated. I want every car to be registered and every driver to be licensed after being tested for competence. Does that mean I want to ban cars?
Do you really think ‘regulation’ is a synonym for ‘ban?’
The AR15 was designed to be the most effective general case weapon of war to be carried by soldiers. If it didn’t have measurable advantage over other rifles why did the US military adopt the M-16? Select fire is far from the only characteristic that contributes to the efficient lethality of that design.
They don’t use the AR-15 in the military… it’s still a plastic fucking semi automatic rifle …just like my wood ones that are semi auto…there is no difference. It’s like trying to ban a car because it’s got a spoiler and painted red…
If it didn’t have measurable advantage over other rifles why did the US military adopt the M-16? The M-16 was derived from the AR-15. The semi-auto characteristic is just one aspect of the rifle. No one, pro-gun, anti-gun, or anywhere in between takes the opinion “all semi-auto rifles are the same” seriously, because its ridiculously reductive and just not true. Its weight, length, ease of use, magazine capacity, and ammo type all significantly factor into its performance. Are you trying to be honest or are you emotionally blinded on this topic?

Please provide evidence that I think that the AR-15 is more dangerous than any other semi automatic rifle.
Unless that was a lie, of course. I’m sure if it wasn’t a lie, you can prove that I think that.

Got it. You lied.

In the gun world yes. Find me a place that didn’t impose registering firearms that didn’t end up taking the mass majority of them.
Sure, I’ll be happy to do that as soon as you own up to your lies and apologize for saying I supported the Taliban.
