In your eyes, what makes the AR-15 more dangerous than a Glock 19 handgun? They are both semi-auto in functionality. In fact, most handguns are semi-auto, along with quite a few shotguns. Both can have a magazine loaded with 30 rounds. The AR is a civilian produced weapon that the military sought to use with multiple modifications. The AR does not have these modifications.
You say no one wants to ban guns but then your very next sentence states banning a model of gun. If you can factually answer what makes it more dangerous, I just might agree with you.
Yeah, you could have just said you have no idea what you're talking about. Step one, realize that the rifle the military uses and the rifle you're so scared of are not the same. They look very similar, so I can see why you would think so. You want to talk disingenuous, why don't you have any rebuttal to the things I mentioned but instead want to go on to your own diatribe? Come back with something intelligent and then we'll talk.
