That being said, the weapon of choice for killers seems to be the AR-15 styles guns and that's a lot easier to ban.

" the weapon of choice for killers seems to be the AR-15 styles guns"

Please provide some proof to back up your claim.

If I do none of those things, which I never would, it's a bat, a rock, and my finger. It's no different with guns. They are objects and tools. They can be used for evil, but so can many other objects.

The liberal fixation with guns is a mystery.

If the libs knew how easy it was to make extremely large amounts of black powder they'd p%ss themselves and be trying to ban youboob videos on it.

That's why I keep posting it. Look at hands?

It's incredulous the ignorance that continues. If I were on the other 'side', I'd concede and find a new line of argument.

And I'll be blunt: I think the ar is a middling gun at best. I'd use a much higher caliber personally. M1 garand anyone?

I doubt these idiots know what a speed loader is. They'll probably fumble it in the middle of the fight.

Why are politicians trying to ban all those scary looking long military style guns, even when the smaller Revolvers and Pistols do the same amount of carnage.

here you go, a real explanation.
