It does not have the Constitutional authority, either. Why was the AR-15 listed as one of the specific banned weapons in the 1994 AWB? My modern sporting rifles aren't AR-15s, anyway. Their model numbers are AM-15, XL-15 and the like.
You have incorrect, this country has the brains not to ban any firearm as it serves no logical purpose.
It wasn't even the type used in all of the shootings he gave as an example. We've had two shootings with more deaths than that of the shooting at Virginia Tech - a shooting where the shooter used two handguns, and one of those was a .22. The shooter in Orlando used a semiautomatic rifle similar to the AR-15, and as you've noted, a ban on the AR-15 would still leave similar firearms in the hands of citizens (I'm looking at you, Ranch Rifle).
How ridiculous. If you look at my avatar, I'm the guy on the far right. My M16 is behind me laying against the wall. I know what an AR 15 is.
If that bothers you maybe consider thinking twice before posting, false information, outright lies, personal insults, and childish one liners and you might find yourself being referred to in a more positive way.
The most recent mass shooting in the united states was committed in the state of California, with a Glock brand semi-automatic pistol that was purchased in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws relating to firearms.
