What makes the AR-15 style rifle the weapon of choice for mass shooters?

Cynthia Bir: There's going to be a lot more damage to the tissues, both bones, organs, whatever gets kind of even near this bullet path. The bones aren't going to just break, they're going to shatter. Organs aren't just going to tear or have bruises on them, they're going to be, parts of them are going to be destroyed.

They are easy to get, easy to get ammunitions, and stupid people want to take others out in a murder suicide by cop.

I'll never understand the stupidity of our country

Gun nuts in to defend citizens owning such devices in 3 2 1 . . .

It’s certainly a unique culture.

Half of my connections on social media are Americans. The rest….Canadians, Aussies, Japanese, Brits, Thai, Vietnamese, Kiwis, etc.

The only people who pose with their guns, or post pictures of guns or hunting photos are the Yanks. Canucks are talking about hockey and beer. Japanese celebrating their kids. Thai folks enjoying the beach. Gun pictures? Americans

‘Getting rid of guns’ is not possible with this culture. It’s who the Americans are. You can’t flip this mentality.

Propaganda works. We’re a stupid people on average.

These sicko's obviously enjoy seeing a 10 year-olds body turned into pulp. The head shots with these weapons are especially gruesome.

Because they look really badass and cool.

It's the most popular rifle in the world. That's like saying why do young people drive a civic. Because they are popular ammunition is usually available even in the hardest of times. They also certainly have a lore in war/movies/games/street violence.

 

[DavidGraeberBullSheetJobs]

Because about 40% of Americans are in a fundamentalist fascist death cult.

Sorry, don't give me the video games argument. Same young kids play those same games in other countries.

Young boys join terrorist organizations in other countries.

I'm not saying video games are causing kids to shoot people, what I'm saying is there is name recognition from the game into the store.

Sure. But why does Australia have less gun violence than us?

Interesting that he posted a well thought out and factual response, and you focus on one word, that you took out of context.

They're too busy shooting snakes and spiders.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

They're too busy shooting snakes and spiders.

And they don't need semi-automatic weapons to do it.

You are correct. They enjoy the destruction and devastation. With Republicans, the cruelty is the point. Gun deaths are the ultimate own the libs.
