Possession and sale of semiautomatic rifles, many of which are branded as assault weapons, is such an emotional issue. Only a small portion of murders (less than 5 percent, if I recall correctly) are committed with an AR-15 style rifle; the rest are committed with handguns, knives, baseball bats, etc. Unfortunately, many deaths occur in a short time at the hands of a mentally unstable perpetrator with an AR style rifle, which is why there is such urgency to ban them.
How many are murdered each week in Chicago without equal urgency to ban the instruments? Goodness. Maybe it's already illegal to murder another person with such devices.
The Dems want to ban private possession of all firearms and consider the ARs a good place to start.
btw, Instructor's post was OK for me.
