Senate candidate and U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) supports legislation that, if passed into law, would prohibit Arizonans from buying AR-15 rifles.
Gallego highlights his gun control support on his campaign website, although he does not go into the specifics of what his proposed policies would do if enacted.
For example, the campaign website mentions Gallego’s time as a U.S. Marine and his use of a gun with full-auto function. “Carrying and using his M16 to defend himself and his fellow Marines in Iraq made it clear to Ruben that weapons of war have no place in civilian life,” it reads. However, it does not explain how his Marine service use of an M16–a rifle with full auto options–correlates with law-abiding Americans owning rifles that only function in semiautomatic mode.

I doubt it.
He is also a Marine Corps vet so he's probably vaguely familiar with the M-16 - the military version of the AR-15
This is not only idiotic, its demonstrably Anti-America as founded per Federalist 46.
Can’t really blame a Mexican for hating the U.S. Bill of Rights. On the other hand, that’s why the azho is in America instead of his beloved Mexico.
“For example, the campaign website mentions Gallego’s time as a U.S. Marine and his use of a gun with full-auto function.”
A pussy and a traitor to the Corps and the nation.

A stupid and pointless argument. Nothing is more stupid than us pointing out that an AR is not full auto and thinking we have proven some big point.
You could get everyone in America to understand that and it would not change the gun debate one bit. They want to ban ARs and all semi autos.
Hobbiest language debates do not win us anything. It’s like when someone wants to ban 30 round clips and we smugly asset that we have never seen a 30 round clip. Or when we say it isn’t a military rifle.
The superfluous detail of full auto actually detracts from it’s effectiveness in almost all cases. A standard AR can and will happily function in a military role with almost zero impact in utility.
another communist (or another complete idiot, I can’t know which)
So he wants to be a member of the elitist Nomenklatura- plenty of weapons for himself and his security detail, but none for the common people.
Gallego is the MAMA candidate.
Make Arizona Mexico Again.
AZ “common people” seem clueless.
That's a stupid conclusion.
A sane and rational person would conclude that "weapons of war" are remarkably useful tools for self defence.
Only an evil person would want to deprive Citizens of the ability to defend themselves.
Is he stupid or is he evil?
Both.
He is a La Raza guy
I’ve had this a-hole pushed on me as my “representative” for over a decade now…ever since McCain’s RINO GOPe allowed the “Independents” to redraw the districts in 2010. The last thing this fat commie beaner deserves is more power.
How would that stop anything that has happened since pistols can have large mags and be rapid fired by hand (auto loaders) as fast as any AR platform. So what Gallego- what will this prevent— the looney who shot up a school or illegals who are allowed to carry!! Like they were citizens, which they are NOT?
Kindly city, Mr. Congressman, every military that is using the AR-15. We’ll wait.
“A pussy and a traitor to the Corps and the nation.”
Once a Marine and that’s it for this prick. No more a Marine.
Gay Lego is an idiot.
Who is running against this Bozo?
