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.
