    Wasn’t the synagogue a pistol?

    In any case, it’s the most popular rifle in America, just by sheer rate it’s going to be used more.

    Most gun homicides are done with handguns. This is completely off topic, unless you think mass shooting victims are the only real victims or something.

      It’s going to be used more for many reasons beyond simply being “popular”:

      It’s literally designed to kill a LOT of people. Not hunt, not for sport. Not defense. Murder.

      It’s one thing to defend yourself with a gun, I’m not advocating for getting rid of all guns or stopping people from owning a gun. I am however, for a ban on guns designed to kill large amounts of people in a short amount of time, especially when it has been the tool for every mass shooting that has bigger death counts than any others prior to AWB.

        Even if that was true, so fucking what?

        I deny your fundamental assumptions here, that something should be banned because it can be used to cause a lot of damage.

        Murder is illegal, it shouldn’t matter the tool used.
