Gun Control Reform Activism

But as I've said a number of times over the years here at DU: you cannot ignore the emotional reasons that AR-15's are used in mass murders, rather than, say, Winchester Model 70 bolt-action rifles. The AR-15's are closely patterned after military rifles, which are specifically designed to kill or maim as many human beings as possible. The Model 70 is designed for wild game harvesting. The AR-15's background appeals to a lot of people, some of whom are mentally unbalanced. But don't take my word for this---Google up one or more of the online sites devoted to the ownership and use of AR-15's or AK-47's; get into the comments sections of such sites. I rest my case.
