We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The increase in shootings is not because of the availability of AR-15s, it's because of a downward spiral of our society, and a government that has turned its back on the people. It's obviously far more complicated, but I'm sure you are keenly aware of the issues that contribute to the type of mental health issues that produce mass shooters.
The increase in deaths per shooting is due to the gun used, which in my examples were AR-15s.
They were designed to kill many people quickly at a high rate of effectiveness. You don’t need one to protect yourself or hunt, you only need one to kill people.
