    But also he only destroyed the upper. That lower is still functional and you can fit a new upper to it.https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/965711747419115522 …

    ONE LESS: Scott Pappalardo owned his AR-15 rifle for more than 30 years. He even has a Second Amendment tattoo on his arm. This weekend, he destroyed his gun “to make sure this weapon will be ever be able to take a life.” http://abcn.ws/2GtonzA  pic.twitter.com/3aUqmOqCwH

        This is the upper to an AR-15. You can buy them of varying qualities for as low as < $200 at a gun show. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1016872351/ar-stoner-ar-15-a3-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-nato-16-barrel …pic.twitter.com/ELmZX211fE

        What makes the AR-15 so popular is how many aftermarket tweaks you can do to it. It's a blank slate, and accessories and mods are readily available. This is why the NRA defends it so much. Entire companies are built around its modularity.

        This ubiquity creates a positive feedback loop. Its availability begets options; options make it more accessible and desirable; its desirability increases availability.

        Banning even just the AR-15 would be a huge blow to that industry. There are no similar long rifles with nearly thay kind of market footprint.

        Looks like the clip there is shortened. Here's the rifle at the very end. https://twitter.com/ATHE1STP0WER/status/965349618694451200?ref_src=twcamp%5Ecopy%7Ctwsrc%5Eandroid%7Ctwgr%5Ecopy%7Ctwcon%5E7090%7Ctwterm%5E1 …

        Actually... He cuts it three times, trashing the entire thing. (I thought the same as you, after that first cut it would still work as a bolt action sbr)

        That would be the weirdest bolt action ever

        Yeah, it would be. The gas parts would be knackered, but the bullet would fire fine. Then you clear it and load another round, and it would die again. But he chopped it up more. Totally trashed it.

        Even less than that he just destroyed the barrel, handguard, and gas tube... on a 30 year old rifle they're probably shot anyways (well at least the barrel and gas tube)
