The AR-15 was engineered to cause "maximum wound effect," as one of its designers put it.

the gun doesn't do that, the bullet does, so in reality, the BULLET is designed for maximum damage, the rifle just delivers the bullet

"It's the perfect killing machine," says Dr. Peter Rhee, a former Navy trauma surgeon.

according to George Patton, the M1 Garand is the greatest battle rifle ever developed, but leave it to a doctor to determine the engineering in a firearm, apparently he never came across someone shot with a AK-47

killers who used assault rifles caused 97 percent more deaths and wounded 81 percent more victims than those who used handguns.

maybe because the crazy bastards were shooting humans that were 3' tall and weighed less that 100lbs

Unlike a heavier handgun bullet, which punctures the body like a nail, a high-velocity round from an AR-15 delivers a payload of kinetic energy that radiates outward from the wound, obliterating organs, pulverizing bones, and causing massive bleeding. It can leave a jagged exit wound the diameter of a soda can. When radiologist Heather Sher examined a teenage victim of the 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, she says she found that one organ looked like "an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer." The victim could not be saved. After the Uvalde shooting, DNA samples were needed to help identify victims, many of whom were left unrecognizable by horrific wounds.

agreed, any firearm will do massive damage when fired at point blank range. name a crazy assholes shooting at more that 20 yards??? the only one I can think of was the Las Vegas shooting, and he was what? 300 yards

After the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, commercial AR-15s began appearing in the same desert tan used on the battlefield.

because a color other than black, makes the firearm MORE deadly

"Use what they use." Appeals to masculine insecurity are common, such as a Bushmaster ad for the rifle that said "Consider your man card reissued."

yep, its all because I have small(ish) penis

One inescapable irony is that any time there is renewed discussion of banning assault weapons, it triggers a boom in gun sales. In fact, says Josh Koskoff, an attorney who represented victims' families after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, gunmakers know mass shootings help sell more assault weapons. "They cashed in on that imagery," he said. "And muscularity. And violence."

no, what helps sell more firearms in general, is all you asshole talking about taking away or regulating the shit out of firearms, dumb ass

For years, semiautomatic handguns were the preferred weapon of mass shooters. But assault rifles have emerged over the past decade as the weapon of choice, and large-capacity magazines ranging from 30 to 100 rounds enable gunmen to increase their kill count without having to pause to reload. Adam Lanza attacked Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, with a Bushmaster assault weapon, firing 154 rounds in 264 seconds. James Holmes opened fire in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater in 2012 armed with Smith & Wesson's "Military & Police" AR-15 outfitted with a 100-round drum magazine, killing 12 people and wounding 58 as he fired roughly 240 rounds. Omar Mateen stormed Orlando's Pulse nightclub in 2016 armed with Sig Sauer's "next-generation" AR-15, firing about 200 rounds as he murdered 49 people and injured dozens more. Stephen Paddock fired more than 1,000 rounds from his Las Vegas hotel room in 2017, killing 60 people and wounding 411. Assault weapons, a New York University School of Medicine study found, accounted for 85 percent of mass-shooting deaths from 1981 to 2017.

so your basic argument is, rate of fire kills more people? when you ban the AR, and the crazy assholes revert back to hand guns, are the victims going to be less dead???

and lets not forget, almost without exception, mass shooters were known to law enforcement, but NO ONE did anything until AFTER the fact
