No, not likely.
The AR-15 is the most popular sporting rifle in America. There are over three million of them in circulation.
Three million. That means about 1 out of every 100 American owns one.
This also means that about 99 out of every 100 Americans don't own an AR-15.
Now if we put an AR-15 ban on the ballot as a referendum, what percentage of these 99 out of every 100 Americans do you think would support it?
Personally, I don't think AR-15s are nearly as popular and beloved with Americans who don't own them as people here think they are.
