In the case of the AR-15, it can fire faster and hold more ammo than most other semi-automatic guns.
The Rugar Mini-14 has the same capacity? Any semi-automatic rifle has that capacity. The AR-15 just looks like a Military weapons and scary to low IQ liberals who know NOTHING about human nature or guns.
They have far stricter laws in France; yet terrorists were able to use full automatic weapons and grenades. This notion that criminals and terrorists abide by our laws is laughably naive, dangerous and moronic.
More laws will not make us more safe.
