        Its because the media reports on it. If you are shooting unarmed targets a shotgun is a far more efficient tool of mass murder indoors. Any center mass shot is 95% going to kill the person. Ur not gonna ban shotguns. You only want to ban guns that can stop the government

        Do you really think you can stop the United States government with an AR-15?

        its not a thought. Its just a fact. Every single war game scenario the US government has run on trying to suppress the US population with military force has failed spectacularly

        Seriously, how long have we been fighting in Afghanistan? They have small arms, maybe some surface to air missiles but not many. It’s all non linear warfare and gorilla tactics, shoot look at the Vietnam war, we took out their air power early, they beat us on the ground.

        Vietnam is not a good example. The Vietcong has the support of North Vietnam and two super powers. As for Afghanistan, There are cultural, infrastructural and geographic reasons the US has not been successful. Also the US committed insufficient troops to win the war.

        That’s not even to mention that the US Military is an all volunteer force, I feel that a huge number of serving members would be out the door the day they got news they where going to be fighting the American people.

        Did you type out "Kalashnikov" to espouse a Russian Collusion narrative? Talk about Fake News.

        It's not common in the US, but outside the US most shootings are done with AKs.

        The point was almost nobody calls them Kalashnikovs in the US. We call them AKs.

        I like how they use the term rifles and not guns so that they don't have to show that hand guns are the most commonly used firearm.

        And had the founding fathers even dreamt that such weapons might exist in the future they would have specifically banned them in the 2nd Amendment
