Facts can be awfully inconvenient can't they?
Interesting that, by and large, people only want to ban the AR-15. A quick Google search showed headlines such as:
This Is The Gun That Committed The Deadliest Shooting In U.S. ...
The AR-15, the gun behind some of the worst mass shootings in ... - Vox
America's obsession with automatic weapons - The Telegraph
I just checked, my semi-automatic AR15s are safe and sound, not out killing people with murderous rage. Perhaps it was the exorcism that saved me, or, if one believes The Telegraph, the lack of a fully-automatic sear.
I read an article a while back, and wish I could find it again, about why people wanted to ban the AR15. It hinted that the AR15, in certain people's eyes, seems to be used to murder white people in places where white people, specifically white suburban mothers, may often find themselves: schools, theaters, etc. Of course most firearm-related homicides are committed using handguns, not an AR15, but those homicides are mostly confined to the inner city where white suburban mothers dare not go.
