Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) insisted on Wednesday that assault-style rifles like the AR-15 should not be banned following the massacre in Las Vegas because he said the weapons are “not dangerous.”

...

Cole, however, was against banning AR-15s.

“There’s millions of them in circulation,” he said reflexively. “When they’re used appropriately, they’re not dangerous.”

“They have to be dangerous!” Geist interrupted.

“So, again, so are some trucks driving into crowds,” Cole shot back, earning a quizzical look from Geist. “So again, I don’t see that as the obvious answer.”

How do you appropriately use a weapon designed to kill people and not kill people???


And btw
When appropriately used, radioactive material is not dangerous.
When appropriately used, cyanide, asbestos, lead and arsenic are not dangerous.
When appropriately used, cocaine and heroin are not dangerous.
