The problem isn't a specific type of semi-automatic rifle with detachable magazine, it's semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines in general.
This can do the exact same thing as an AR15 and was one of the weapons Breivik used to kill 77 people in Norway in 2011.
Others include Kalashnikov and SKS variants, the M1A, the FAL, etcetera. They all do the exact same thing. The AR15 just happens to be the most popular on the market and thus has more sellers offering it.

(8,168 posts)But it is politically a decent idea to focus on the one that is almost exclusively showing up in these mass murders. Obviously the fine print in any law would have to not be anything like the previous assault weapons ban which was so easy to get around it was stupid. I.E. let's focus on what it is that is so attractive about the AR-15 that makes it the choice of mass murderers.
