    Would no be a good time to bring up the fact that AR does NOT stand for "Assault Rifle"?

    His stats are right if you go by the government definition of a mass shooting.

    Sure take a look

    Mass Shootings in 2019 | Gun Violence Archive

    You will see a lot of pistols and Long Rifles. Not AR-15's for the most part. Get educated.

    My stats are correct. Most shootings involve pistols.

    We have concentration camps and Hitler in the White House and people say the answer is to disarm civilians like Germany in the 1930s. The Russians would attack along with the Chinese immediately. Stalin was far worse than Hitler.

    There are more deaths by knives than there are "AR-15's"

    It is apparent to me that the anti-2nd Amendment crowd’s foundation of their position is based on emotion backed up with faulty information...and they do not care. Hitman47 seems to be no different.

    If y'all will bear with me, I'm going to be a bit of a pendant here. (Something I picked up from the late TCassidy.)
    Yes, Reynolds, AR15 designates a particular firearm as you have pointed out. However, It is also used as a term of art to refer to firearms using the action developed by Eugene Stoner. In the gun community, folks tend to talk in terms of AR (for the Stoner) and AK (for the Kalishnikov). Sloppy yes but that's the way things are. I suggest Agnet47 expand his YouTube viewing to include the InRange and Forgotten Weapons channels.

    A distinction without a difference when it comes to mass shooting

    Get your logical priorities in order:

    FBI: More People Killed by Hammers, Clubs than with Rifles of Any Kind – True Pundit

    "The most recent FBI crime stats show that more people were killed in 2017 with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles of any kind.

    Breitbart News reported the most recent numbers–those for 2017–on September 26, 2018. Those figures showed that 467 people were killed with “blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),” while 403 were killed with rifles.

    And it must be noted that the category of “rifles” used by the FBI includes bolt action, pump action, single shot, and semi-automatic, as well as those the left describes as “assault weapons.”"
