And even that distinction effectively goes away with the binary triggers now available..You obviously have not personally compared the two. Like bump stocks, they are unreliable toys. My opinion. The AR-15 is not select fire which is a requirement for an assault rifle. Opinions are like certain body parts, we all have one.

stanc Wrote:The trouble is, you are actually making a very strong case for gun control. According to the article that you linked to, there were only two mass killings with knives in China during the last 18 months.You forgot the other things that come with repressive governments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...ZKq4LVW8HI I have read Nazi Germany had a very low crime rate too.
There were three public mass killings with guns in the US just during the month of August, and the total number of dead and wounded was much greater.
