So he claims that resistance to the AR-15 is all theatrics
He's right, and I have explained in painstaking detail, at least twice, why that is.
But I'll do it again, summarily:
Rifles of all kinds are used in only 3% of all gun related homicide
Rifles of all kinds are used in fewer than 20% of defined mass shootings, which is any shooting event where three or more people are injured/killed.
Handguns are used in at least 60% of all firearm homicides, but among the unrecovered murder weapons that result "unknown", applying the percentages, handguns are more likely to be used in 85-90% of all firearm related homicide.
So now why does government make theater about AR-15's - a varmint gun that is so unreliable at killing a 120 pound deer that most states have outlawed using one for hunting anything larger than 50 pounds - so much?
Two reasons:
1) Current political theater and scary campaign speeches. That is the window dressing.
2) The simple fact that semiautomatic rifles chambered in 5.56 have the same effective range as the weapon carried by Army and National Guard infantry, as well as most police. The Marines, the various Special Forces, and SWAT teams tend towards 7.62mm/.308 platforms, which is the AR-10 knock off for civilians. The citizen having either is now on equal footing with government agents, at least on an effective range basis. And that pisses government off to no end and always has. They don't want to be equal, they want to be superior.
A citizen armed with a semiauto .223/.308 (5.56mm/7.62mm) and any sort of precision bolt action platform that is .300 or higher caliber has every tactical capability the average soldier/cop/agent of tyranny has, much to Leviathan's dismay.
THAT is why all the theatrics about AR-15s. They are used so rarely in crime that the FBI/DoJ has categorized them as "statistically insignificant" yet the media-political narrative is that they a scourge upon the nation. The reasons are clear. Easy low hanging campaign fruit, but behind it, they are a legitimate threat to government tyranny EXACTLY as the 2nd Amendment intended to protect us from.

Yes he can explain wat a semi-automatic is, real talent.

You know - everybody doesn't have to know everything about an issue to support it.
I'm not a gun nut (as described in the video). I don't need to be a gunsmith to know that I should have the right to defend myself against tyrannical government and criminals.
The discussion was good in that each participant gave each other room to explain themselves.
