  1. Forgot to mention that during the Clinton ban it was statistically proven to have accomplished nothing. The ban did not reduce gun violence. The narrative of the left is inconveniently interrupted by the latest shooting in Jacksonville, not much conversation being had due the lack of a scary black rifle.

  2. Wow another flat out lie. The AR-15 was not BANNED from 1994-2004. Magazine,capacity and small features on the gun where banned. Meaning it could have a bayonet lug or a flash supressor. Companies NEVER stopped building and they have NEVER stopped selling them.

  3. Sutherland springs shooter was stopped by an AR-15 and if your going to go off of the definition of a fake word use it, an “Assault Rifle” is any rifle with selective fire and if you try to tell me that safety-semi auto counts as selective fire then anything with a safety which is 95% of guns you just called “Assault Rifles” please for the love of anything, you people made up this word and definition so use it…

  4. The gun is not lethal the person using it is. If the shooters used armalite m15s they would say the m15 is lethal and terrible and a menace. I dont know why they think that the AR15 is so bad.

  5. Oooo the scary AR-15 wooo-OOOoooo!! "Lethal and legal" as are countless other weapons in this country. This very video points out that Americans own over 8 million AR-15s, yet lazily listed off four shootings "…and many more." It's almost as if this is alarmist propaganda or something…

  6. Many items are "legal and lethal". FAR more students die while texting and driving or drinking and driving every year, but who is calling for common sense car control? Should we go down the road of the UK and sequentially ban everything? First guns, then knives, and now they have criminals throwing acid in their victims' faces. And of course, people are still being shot and stabbed in the UK because criminals ignore these bans that only disarm law abiding citizens to favor criminals. Gosh, why not just ban violent crime?
