A particular gun, yes, but there are features of the AR-15 that make it more effective. High muzzle velocity means more energy, so you tear apart organs instead of just punching a hole. Magazine-fed means you can shoot more of those high velocity rounds, and semi-automatic means your rate of fire is much higher.
Banning a specific model of firearm is stupid, but there are attributes that we can regulate to prevent the most deadly weapons from being so readily available.
Then again, if you’re making this argument you probably think that living in fear of being shot in the grocery store and turning schools into supermax prisons is a perfectly acceptable compromise and this discussion will go nowhere like the last hundred times it’s happened.

“there are attributes that we can regulate to prevent the most deadly weapons”
Can we agree that the silencer is not one of these. All it does is protect my hearing.

Yes, I agree that silencers shouldn’t be on the list. Even with a silencer guns are fucking loud, especially large-caliber high-velocity rounds.
Your just proving your stupidity in this post.
There are other guns the have attributes similar to the AR-15, and if you that the AR away the next most popular gun will be the next issue.
I’m not defending the AR, I’m saying all guns are a problem and focusing on one is not a smart move.
