Further tell me why a student under 21 yrs. old needs a “fast firing” gun?

An AR15 is a medium power rifle that fires no faster than a Ruger 10/22 or an old Remington Nylon 66. A few years ago when the IRS requested bids for AR15s they called them semiautomatic ‘PERSONAL PROTECTION weapons. The request for bid also specified that each rifle be equipped with “STANDARD 30 ROUND MAGAZINE. So according to the government they are not assault weapons and a 30 round magazine is standard NOT a high capacity magazine,
An AR15 is a wonderful home protection weapon. It is light. It has a mild kick. It is easier to shoot accurately than a handgun or a heavier rifle. It is an especially good home defense choice for a woman because of these features.
There is no reason to keep adults between 18 and 21 from having these personal protection weapons. The AR15 has been available for civilian purchase since 1964 and is the most popular rifle sold in the U.S. There are millions of them in private hands. Very few of them are ever used in a crime. In fact, according to the FBI rifles of all kinds are used in fewer murders than knives.
The AR15 is not the problem. The leftists have demonized it and people who don’t know any better fall for it because it looks like a military weapon. The truth is I don’t know of a single country that uses the AR15 as their military weapon.
Don’t fall for the BS the leftists spews. Their goal isn’t safety. It’s control.
Thank you for that explanation.
