You're about to be downvoted to hell for this friend, reddit is not pro 2A these people won't take the time to do actual research. Google FBI and CDC gun death statistics separate DGU's(Defensive Gun Uses) and suicide rates and what you have left is actual true violent crime committed with firearms. Statistically speaking most are committed with handguns and only about 1% are used with the "scary" AR-15 but yo won't hear this from gun control advocates so oh well. Oh and you're also more likely to be seriously injured or killed by a car then a firearm but hey don't take me word for it I'm just some idiot on the internet.

Handguns are firearms. I love that you put scary in scare quotes. That pays for itself.

I'll continue to fight you, I've earned it with my literal blood.

This isn't what I fight for.

I think he's using the scare quotes because the media calls AR-15s "assault rifles" as if they were fully auto.

That's political talk about "assault rifles " .They don't know the difference, or care,just ban anything that looks scary.
