WASHINGTON (AP) — Gun makers have taken in more than $1 billion from selling AR-15-style guns over the past decade, at times marketing them as a way for young men to prove their masculinity, even as the number of mass shootings increases, according to a House investigation unveiled Wednesday.
The weapons have been used in massacres that have horrified the nation, including one that left 10 people dead at a grocery store in Buffalo and another where 19 children and two teachers were shot to death in Uvalde, Texas.
The Committee on Oversight and Reform said some ads mimic popular first-person shooter video games or tout the weapons’ military pedigree while others claim the guns will put buyers “at the top of the testosterone food chain.”
Those sales tactics are “deeply disturbing, exploitative and reckless,” said Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York. “In short, the gun industry is profiting off the blood of innocent Americans.”

AR-15 —
Manhood —
Just how do they interpret that AR-15?
Aggravated Rape - 15 times, or 15 inches?
And to their dismay it is semi, not auto.
The D’Rats are not interested in saving lives.
What they are really interested in is saving their own a$$es come November.
Believing anything from the Associated Presstitutes, who by the way makes a fortune from using High Capacity transmission Devices to spread their lies, is an act of SUPIDIY!!
So are they saying that it’s not the guns but toxic masculinity? When will they realize that it’s young men who society has been condemning and isolating for decades? The feminists and our culture degrades and despises men, and shouldn’t be surprised when they reciprocate the sentiment.
Womxn buy AR-14s because they are oppressed by males.
Wait, what? As a female who may have an AR 15, does this make me transgendered??
Be careful! I’d always been a bolt and lever kind of guy. I just decided I wanted one AR so I built one in 6.8 SPC as it was the best all round caliber for my hunting needs. It was so much fun to shoot that I built a .556/223 for plinking because the ammo was cheaper. Then I found a .410 upper that I really needed so I built a lower for it. And then they came out with the 350 Legend that I figured would be great for deer and hogs so I built one of those. I just ordered the last parts for a 7.62x39. I have two more bare lowers that I may build into AR format pistols of some flavor.
The only AR-15 self help groups I’ve found all seem to think that you can quit any time you want after this one last rifle.
In any case, semi-automatic weapons were around for decades without any significant use for crimes, much less random attempts to kill large numbers of people. The guns are not what changed. And until they get serious about what has changed in society and the way children are raised, the problem will continue no matter what they do about guns. There are plenty of other ways to kill large numbers of people.
Trans caliber?
Asspress lunatics hate real men anyway.
Real men shoot 30 cal
Carolyn Maloney is a baby killer. She supports abortion.
I was being facetious about getting five.
I would like to have one.
My skills as a gun smith are non-existent.
What you are doing does sound like fun.
How about a black guy running over people in a Christmas parade? Such agenda driven crap by this libtard drek.
