An AR-15 isn’t likely to be used in a crime but when it is “oh, the consequences.”
Do you really want a government bureaucrat telling you, in his professional opinion, of course, that a certain breed of dog or type of rifle, is far too dangerous for you to own because of how it looks? It’s the same argument.
Not the same argument at all, because the gun cannot snap unprovoked and pick itself up and start shooting things randomly.
It’s an inanimate object and a dog isn’t.
The dog a creature capable of independent action beyond the control of the human to which it is attached.
My AR15 is not autonomous. But, you probably knew that.
Should I need to use it (it IS a weapon) I want there to be consequences.
