Less than 500 people a year (in a country of over 300 million with more guns than people) are killed with ALL rifles, and that speaks volumes as to why they want to ban the AR-15.

If they were even half-genuine in their pursuit to stop gun violence, they'd go after handguns. Nope. They want to declaw you.

In 2017, handguns were involved in the majority (64%) of the 10,982 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes many guns that are sometimes referred to as “assault weapons”– were involved in 4%.

.04 x 10,982 = 439 (as of 2017)
