Funny thing is prior to 2012 the Hi-Point carbine and the TEC-9 were the most notorious firearms known for mass shootings in the United States. It all comes down to what's used and what isn't.
So glad this only has 100,000 views.
I thought most used pistols. Arm good guys, to stop bad guys!
How does a BIPOD make a gun more dangerous.
Okay you gave four examples, its an ar15 if i was doing a mass shooting id pick that gun as well, and that foregrip you guys showed almost looks like a bipod
A car could cause unintended damage or even death and you can also say that about a spoon… Flipping liberal b.s….
Well safe to say that the New York Times has no clue what there taking about when it comes to guns when 95% of what was said in this video is wrong. The msm is becoming a anti gun propaganda tool
Can I buy a P90 for home defense since the reason's the secret service use it is because its low collateral damage?
It’s videos like these that leftists and liberals thrive on
Pistols make up for more than 50 percent of gun crime. Interesting lol
Liberal propaganda…
How to be stupid in one click.
You guys are so dumb. It isnt the weapon of choice for mass shootings, hand guns are, and that wasnt a grip that was a bipod. So much more wrong but I dont have time for a mis informed leftist who wants to push something onto me
The vast majority of mass shootings are done with pistols and most of them are gang related
i clicked on this video,
reads description,
"The AR-15 assault rifle"
DISLIKE
They just described almost any gun. Next time have somebody educated on the topic do this report….
If you want to become stupid, just watch 5 his video
I'm 100% in support for gun control, but you can't blame the gun for the shootings. That's like blaming the floor for your fall.
Literally any gun or anything can cause "unintended death" vague and vapid. Yep the New York times I remember.
Red dots and bipod make a ar 15 more deadly lmao? Interesting iv never seen that b4 but OK propaganda to the full power
Also 5.56 rounds fragment easily, which makes them less likely to over-penetrate
I am pro gun-control, but the AR15 is usually a carbine and semi-automatic, which means it is NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE. I want your argument to be taken seriously, so you must be correct.
Pistols are mass shooters wepons of choice. And wepons of choice.
