The Ar 15 just happens to be one of the most popular rifle frames in the countryOf course it allows for more rapid shooting. It is easy to handle. It is a mass shooters dream, which is why it is the preferred rifle. But did he use an AR? Did I read here that he bought an AK47 out of state? What did he use?Are they as easy to spray fire into a crowd of garlic festival goers? AR 15 is a copy of a weapon developed for WAR. It is designed to kill as quickly and easily as possible.An AR 15 is one of the lowest powered rifles on the market.
Every rifle I own is more powerful than an AR 15
You don't know what you are talking about.
The AR doesn't fire any faster than any other semi-automatic.
The AR is less powerful than most other semi-automatics.
There are over 8 million of them in the hands of civilians and 99.9999% of those civilian will never shoot anyone
And no it does not shoot faster than any other semiautomatic rifleYou are looking at this all wrong. As I read it, and many others do as well, the Second Amendment is for keeping the citizenry ready to call up in case of attack. They did not have a standing army and the Founding Fathers did not want one. Even before the Revolutionary War, the local militias were called up to train on a regular basis. All adult males except the very oldest were required to participate and they needed to bring their own weapon.Are they as easy to spray fire into a crowd of garlic festival goers? AR 15 is a copy of a weapon developed for WAR. It is designed to kill as quickly and easily as possible.Really?
Why is there a call to ban " assault weapons"? Because they are used to kill people
So ban the AR 15 and when another gun is used to kill a few people at a garlic festival what do you do?
You say we have to ban that gun too
etc etc etc
A less powerful weapon would men fewer casualties.

All my rifles but 1 are semiautomatic. I'm more of a hand gun person myself. I don't have as much use for rifles as some do so I only have a few but all of them are in a much larger caliber than an Ar 15.
But why don;t you answer my earlier question to you
What other of your guaranteed rights are you willing to give up to stop criminals from committing crimes?
We now have the largest standing army in the world. The Second Amendment no longer applies. Since it keeps standing in the way of getting rid of the majority of guns in this country, I say ditch it.
If anything its needed even more today. Its purpose is so the government fears the people instead of the people fearing their government. Note the first or second thing any despot does is disarm the populace either before or immediately following eliminating their right to free speech. Hitler did it as did Stalin and all the others right down throughout recorded history.
