My M-1 carbine and Marlin Model 1936 are deadlier than your AR-15....so there!
I made this point on a different media outlet when someone called for a ban on "military grade" weapons. I showed some pictures, including the AR-15, of weapons and told her to let me know which of these are considered Military Grade weapons. (Benelli, Browning, Remington). Before she could respond, another poster pointed out that the autoloading hunting rifles were far more lethal than the AR-15. They just didn't look as scary. She quit posting.
Most any long gun that isn’t 22LR is more deadly than an AR15! That’s one of the funniest part of this whole “high-power AR15” whine we’re hearing.
The reason why they are so deadly in these mass shootings is that NO ONE ever fights back. They just line up and wait for the bullet. They watch TV and learn from “experts” that a single man with an AR can’t mow down a room full of people in 5 seconds and they think, “I can’t beat him. Maybe he’ll get bored and leave before he kills me”.
Where is the “Let’s roll!” spirit?
