Rifles, shotguns, handguns...
Look at the things that come in front of rifles, beginning with knives. And then hammers.
But the AR-15 is scarier than a knife or a hammer. Wouldn't it make sense to go after the things that kill the most? That is, if your goal is to save lives?
The deaths aren't because of AR-15's, or because of rifles, or assault weapons.... they are because of psycho people that are determined to kill.
