With this new movement to restrict firearm ownership they are missing the point. Crminals don’t care about the law! Banning certain firearms because they look like military grade weapons is foolish. Those weapons are no more dangerous than their less intimidating civilian style rifles with wooden stocks. A barrel shroud, collapsible shoulder stock and pistol grip do not make the rifle any more deadly. The silly idea that these features turn the rifle into a people killer is absurd!

The AR-15 (AR stands for Armilite Rifle not “Assault Rifle”, Armilite was the original developer and manufacturer) has ammunition of 5.56mm (.223 calber) and is less powerful than a typical hunting round which is 7mm or .30 caliber. Claiming that these weapons are not for civilian use is a sign of pure ignorance. The “Assault Rifle” during the 18th century was the musket and had a bore size of half an inch and could be fired 3 to 10 times per minute.

These young kids who the left is exploiting are ignorant and misguided to say the least. The planned “march for children’s lives” or whatever is nothing more than the product of propaganda and will not change a thing. Criminals will find a way to carry out their criminal activities regardless of how many laws are passed because they don’t care about the law. All that will happen is that law abiding citizens will be less safe when a criminal attacks.
