    It’s just dumb. The sniper that killed the guy wasn’t using an ar-15. Stopping ar-15’s wouldn’t have done anything to change something like this.

      What do you mean, it was an AR-15. I don’t support a ban, just clarifying facts.

      You sure about that?

      FBI special agent in charge Kevin Rojek said Crooks used an AR-style rifle chambered in 5.56mm, a common caliber for such weapons. Authorities said the weapon was identified and traced using records from a gun dealership that is no longer operating.

      If that source doesnt work for you, here’s the president of the United states:

      “An AR-15 was used in the shooting of Donald Trump, just as other assault weapons were used to kill so many others, including children."

      That’s from the linked article.
