1. Yeap, a device DESIGNED to kill a lot of humans efficiently should not be in the hands of the avg...

... gun owner.

2. The AR15 doesn't matter

As I said in another thread..

The problem isn't a specific type of semi-automatic rifle with detachable magazine, it's semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines in general.



This can do the exact same thing as an AR15 and was one of the weapons Breivik used to kill 77 people in Norway in 2011.

Others include Kalashnikov and SKS variants, the M1A, the FAL, etcetera. They all do the exact same thing. The AR15 just happens to be the most popular on the market and thus has more sellers offering it.

Looked familiar. I like woodgrain sa's. No money tho to add to my meager arsenal. So I have to be happy with my "death spewer" mosin nagant.

10. You know, I would rather have an SKS

in 7.62x39 than a Ruger Mini-14 in .223 or Ruger Mini-30 (also in 7.62x39).

[Elmergantry]

11. i like the sks as well

It would be a tough choice.

9. Model

MINI -14 same ammo and as deadly as the AR15....

[Elmergantry]

12. yes but not as scarwy

Thats the crucial difference!

[Old Codger]

16. Psychological

Difference, a product of today's mass media mindset ... looks mean so must be ...

4. Good point - but still like to see the AR15 go away

[Dem2]

13. Yes, of course

But it is politically a decent idea to focus on the one that is almost exclusively showing up in these mass murders. Obviously the fine print in any law would have to not be anything like the previous assault weapons ban which was so easy to get around it was stupid. I.E. let's focus on what it is that is so attractive about the AR-15 that makes it the choice of mass murderers.

7. Never gonna happen. n/t

15. It worked perfectly in all those situations, doing exactly what it was designed and intended to do.
