AR-15 Rifles: The instruments of slaughter & murder in America

How can you be sure? He seems to be all over the place.

That is true, but this appears to be at least an awkward lunge at an assertion based on ballistics: The “lethality” of the assault-style rifle due to the manner in which its ammo rips apart the body results in more deaths (as opposed to survivable injuries) than when a handgun is used.
 
You did not answered the question as asked. Not a single gun nut has. Why are you all so afraid to answer the question straight up and honestly? Your refusal to do so speaks volumes. What are you all so afraid of?
You do realize there is a written record on this forum right? And that written record shows the bolded statement to be a lie.
 
Get back to me when you can decide to show some honesty.
Don’t flatter yourself
Your ignorant posts impress only you
 
L
Pistols have the same firing rate and near the same magazine capacity as an Ar-15.
The expended energy from rifle ammunition is substantially higher than handguns.
 
The pulse shootings weren't done with an AR-15 style weapon.
Federal officials said a SIG Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle and a 9mm Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol were recovered from Mateen's body,
Oops, there goes 25% of his sad song. The Las Vegas weapon was also modified with a bump stock.

You can’t put a bump stock on a handgun. Yet another reason he chose an assault style weapon, eh?

You can achieve the same effect with a shoe string lol

The “same effect” in this case being the death of 58 innocent victims and the maiming of dozens of others. Must make you gun nuts very proud when an AR-15 is used in the manner for which it was intended, namely the ability to kill other humans in a very quick and effective manner.
 
Almost 200 people were killed in just 6 incidents using the AR-15 (see the OP).
Are those from the same year? And how many were killed with handguns. The biggest handgun mass shooting was 32 at VA Tech. Total murder by handgun far outwieghs AR's. For that matter murder by automobile surpasses AR's.
AR's are just a good target but the number of deaths by them pales in comparison to handguns. Suicides account for more than half of the gun deaths.

why do you repeat this lie? You've already been schooled on this statement.

Us "gun nuts" would just like to see you gun haters, put as much emphasis on handgun murders and other crimes with handguns in big cities in America where most of those cities just happen to be run by democrats who do little to nothing to try to combat crime.

It makes your political mentors gratified, which is why they tell you to explain ad nauseum that it's the perfect, greatest ever, most deadly machine ever devised for mass murder.

You see, it isn't that they necessarily want innocents killed. But they are aware that those killings can happen even in the absence of whatever flavor of the month "assault weapon" is currently referring to. So they figure, "If it's going to happen anyway, better it happen with an AR-15 to further our agenda"

It's cold and calculating, but so many unaware anti gun zealots suck it up and spew it out far and wide.
 
You still didn’t tell us how you plan to get guns out of the hands of criminals.
Were not going to do either so this conversation is moot. Nothing will change.
 
Phones aren't used to facilitate crime?

I'm thinking they're used to facilitate so much crime, I'm going to have to consider adding them to the items that require background checks for possession.

Of course, you probably hate the idea of background checks.
And theres that lie #1 yet again.

So you're going to follow me around to different threads, nonsensically calling my posts lies?

What lie is there in that post?

So point out the lie you're claiming and we can both have some fun.

You can't hide an AR in your pocket. Yet another reason to thousands of criminals chose a handgun, eh?
 
Hmm, over 20 million AR-15 rifles in the US and you have to go back 10 years to find 6 instances of misuse. Big fail for you.
Notice how those six listed were done with AR15s. He sorta forgot others done with something else or the weekend shootings in Chicago and elsewhere by gangs and other criminals.
 
The lie #1 should have clued you in since you think im following you :p

Sorry, doesn't seem applicable in this thread. You should go back to the thread where you made the original accusation, but are now avoiding for some reason.
 
The question that you have never answered honestly: why would a mass murderer use an AR-15 as his weapon of choice?
Because all the MSM and you anti gunners have drummed it into them that they are the weapon of choice and nothing else will do.

Bullshit post, as usual
Your childish characterization of gun folks is ****ing offensive and unjustified

AR's are just a good target but the number of deaths by them pales in comparison to handguns. Suicides account for more than half of the gun deaths.

The VA Tech shooting has already been discussed. Go back and review.

Typical gun Niue deflection that I’ve heard hundreds of times.
