I agree it’s too easy to get a gun in the US, but gradually banning guns category is a proven slippery slope. First it was automatics, now semi-automatics. Next they’ll come for the revolvers.

You forgot to say that merkins have killed people of late with trucks and cars. So next you say - "what, will be banning cars next ?"

No because unlike assault rifles, cars and trucks can’t be used for self defence.

An assault rifle like the AR15 however blows holes in people. A body wound from such a killing machine rarely leaves survivors, compared to a handgun.

So back with your self defence angle, why do you need an AR15 ? I propose to you that the gun was designed for the theatre of war and has no place in a domestic situation.

What valid reason would a sane person want such a killing machine ?

If you’re fearing for your life why would you not adopt a military mindset?

As for its ability to ‘blow holes in people’, it’s only a 5.56mm round. Plenty of revolvers have a larger caliber. The reason assault rifles are suitable for self defence is the same reason they are suitable for murder - high rate of fire and effective range. This is why modern soldiers carry them in counterinsurgrncy operations - for self defence during ‘armed social work’. If you actually want to take out the enemy (assuming you can find them) you bring something much bigger than an assault rifle (referred to as ‘small arms’ despite soft urbanites being terrified of them). You bring heavy machine guns and rockets, preferably mounted on helicopters or fast air platforms.
