Right, of course. Since the AR-15 was only briefly shipped as a military weapon it doesn’t count as one. And since the article is talking about how worship of guns is making gun violence worse by elevating the AR-15 as a status symbol, its non-military status completely invalidates the argument. Clearly, people being hurt and killed by non-military weapons is better for the nation.
I’ve been so blind. Thank you for repeating this fact so I understand. It’s okay because the AR-15 isn’t actually military. All those dead and wounded people can feel better now.
Was tested* by the military and adopted the designation m16 when they picked it up, as they do (remember the m14, the m9, the m…), when they added in the auto sear. Glad I could help against the article trying to mislable for fear mongering purposes and I’m glad you’ve finally opened your eyes.
Well since you specify thr ar15, you mean less than 500 out of 60,000 per year for .2% of gun deaths? It’s not that they don’t matter (your words btw, not mine), it’s that the fear mongering in an attempt to ban ar15s is transparently performative and you’re falling for it and perpetuating it.
Why not just stop calling it military grade, if all it brings is pedantry, and it’s not intended to fear monger? (Which you doubled down on the fear mongering, Mr “I love dead kids because they let me act self rightous on the internet.” But whatever.)
Isn’t the straw already gone from that man you’re beating? Or would you care to address what the post is actually talking about instead of nitpicking on whether or not the AR-15 is a military grade weapon?
Yes yes, “the truth” is a strawman. Why pretend it is? Even if it once was why pretend people are just walking around with those all the time when we both know it isn’t true?
The truth is you’re dismissing the death and suffering of countless people because it might inconvenience you in the pursuit of your gun fetish. Which is what the article is attempting to address and that you are desperately trying to deflect from.
So now that we’ve established this, we can go our separate ways.
Yes, the other pendants got there before you long ago. Because that totally invalidates the point of gun violence. Good job.
Well maybe take them off your neck then. Pendants.
Sorry to spoil your fear mongering party with actual facts.

Yes, thank you for making me realize that all those gun deaths don’t matter. What’s really important is how the AR-15 is designated.
