When will we stop mass shooters? BAN THIS GUN NOW!! Hunters, gun lovers: we aren’t asking to take away your guns. We are asking to ban the AR-15 assault rifle. AR-15 is NOT NECESSARY to hunt for animals nor protect yourself!! AR-15s inflict much more damage to human tissue than the typical handgun. That’s largely because of the speed at which projectiles leave the weapons; they are much faster out of the muzzle of an AR-15, and deliver a more devastating blow to bones and organs. Those projectiles are also more likely to break apart as they pass through the body, inflicting more damage. When the higher muzzle-velocity projectiles strike an organ, you’re more likely to have severe injury and bleeding. Dying is more likely with this style weapon, than with lower muzzle-velocity munitions. This is why so many mass shooters are using this weapon - they can murder more innocent victims at once.  BAN THESE WEAPONS NOW!! Sign and tell congress: we do not want these weapons available to the public for any reason.
