What is a bigger threat in America AR-15s or MS-13s? (Putin, heroin)

[craigiri]

I'd say

Fast Food
Cars
Medication (legal) and medical mistakes
Tylenol
Booze - and illegal drugs

and perhaps some others are WAY above AR-15's.

But total gun violence is definitely on the list with 10's of thousands of victims per year.

I take an "all of the above" approach.

Sort of a silly challenge tho. I had a buddy who ferried nuclear weapons all over the world. He slept in the plane right next to a batch of them....for many years.

Does that mean they are not dangerous? Well, using the "logic" of some here, one White Supremeist in Pittsburgh did vastly more harm than all those nukes, so it must be that GAB members are more dangerous than nuclear weapons.

I love the current "logic" in vogue among the masses.....

I'd say overall, Corporate media + identity politics = total disaster.

In term of AR-15 or MS-13s, I'd say MS-13 is a bigger threat because responsible gun owners know how to handle AR-15.

How could any inanimate non living object be more dangerous than an actual gang.


When my AR-15 gets out of the safe, loads up 12 30 round magazines and unassisted goes out and kills a bunch of innocent people that is the day that not only be will I be concerned about; that is the day that I will then get rid of it, as it would now be a true weapon of mass destruction; and out of human control.

AR15's do absolutely nothing on their own.
MS 13 members torture and kill people.

Liberals are a bigger threat to the US than either.

There aren't "10's of thousands of victims" per year. People who kill themselves with a gun aren't a victim of "gun violence". I'm sure you're all broken up about the thousands of repeat felons killed by other repeat felons too. There are hundreds of innocent victims per year, and over 160,000 people who are still alive because they had a firearm. It's sad liberals would trade all those lives for their ignorant political agenda.

Thier weapon of choice is the machete, not guns.

They target mostly fellow Salvidorians.

In fact, what violence they do commit is mostly against illegal immigrants. Would think Trump would be supporting them as a deterrent.

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) ” Federal prosecutors said Thursday they had captured the members of a violent street gang who killed three high school students, including two girls who were inseparable best friends and were attacked with a machete and baseball bats as they walked through their suburban neighborhood.

Thirteen members of local cliques of the MS-13 street gang were charged with a slew of violent crimes and seven killings over a five-year period, prosecutors and police said.

MS-13 has no central leadership. It is not a cartel.

Their weapon of choice is the machete, not firearms.
