Hi- Although I hate AR-15 assault rifles in the hands of civilians and the mass shootings where they have been used -- it is helpful to read this from the BBC to understand the history, statistics, and culture around this gun so we can better fight for common sense gun laws.
Unfortunately it appears there are millions of these in circulation within the USA. This gun is essentially an improved version of the M16 service rifle used by the military in the Vietnam War. Apparently, there are increases in buying levels whenever there are shootings because (a) gun companies pump up fear of restrictions, and (b) people think they need it for protection against the criminals. Ugh 😣 - Lee
