Mandatory reading. Warning ... heavy stuff within. Read it all. Watch the videos. Then tell me AR15s and weapons like it have a place in our society.

Might as well just allow the citizenry to have shoulder mounted RPGs if we as a society are accepting of the destruction an AR-15 is capable of.

How is the capability of the AR-15 to take human life any different than that of other weapons?

Been said on here before, but...
1. high powered round combined with small caliber creates cavitation effect that tears flesh, causing far more life-threatening injuries than other types of arms
2. high capacity magazine, with high rate of fire, combined with features designed to stabilize firing and improve accuracy when acquiring multiple targets creates a weapon perfectly designed to inflict mass casualties
It's a weapon of war designed to allow soldiers to kill as many enemies on the battlefield as possible. For the same reasons you wouldn't want the public at large to have unrestricted access to large-caliber machine guns or RPGs, you shouldn't want them to have access to this weapon.

Good news friend. The clarification you desire is all spelled out in great detail within the article XJ posted just 4 posts up. You should read it and educate yourself.
Do you own an AR-15? Is the right to do so important to you? Why?

The ignore button was designed for people like this. If people would all put him on ignore and stop quoting him, he would disappear from the forums.

Like his idol himself, yiddle appears to have stopped developing at age 13 and is just stuck there. Zero point to try and "converse" with him. Amusing to watch him embarrass himself on here near daily though.

US Supreme Court declines to block Illinois assault rifle ban
https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-suprem ... 20national
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday again declined to block a Democratic-backed state ban in Illinois on assault-style rifles and large capacity magazines enacted after a deadly mass shooting in Chicago's Highland Park suburb in 2022, rejecting a renewed request by a firearms retailer and a national gun rights group.
The justices' action leaves the law in place pending an appeal by the National Association for Gun Rights, Robert Bevis, and his firearms store, Law Weapons & Supply of a lower court's decision. It denied their bid for a preliminary injunction against the ban, as well as a similar ban enacted by another Chicago suburb, Naperville.
No justice publicly dissented from the decision. The Supreme Court also rebuffed the plaintiffs' request for an injunction at an earlier stage of the case in May.
Illinois passed the ban in response to a massacre at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park in 2022 that killed seven people and wounded dozens.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act, signed into law in January by Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, banned the sale and distribution of many kinds of high-powered semiautomatic "assault weapons," including AK-47 and AR-15 rifles, as well as magazines that take more than 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for handguns.

Wait, what about "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?
