@daasyochid So is every type of gun, knives, cars, hands (which killed more than double the people in 2016, which was easy to find data for, killed using an AR-15), blunt objects (also killed more people than murders using an AR-15)

@jj2020
there is really no way to know that because it is not a measured statistic. Either way, any mass shooter could use any other semi-automatic rifle, which functions the same but doesn’t look as scary. There are over 300 million guns in this country, most of them semi-auto, so banning them is not possible, nor will anyone listen.

@meno
Correct, the AR in AR 15 stands for Armalite Rifle, after the company that came up with them.
