I am not putting this up to be gun porn, but to show how dangerous a bump stock makes an AR. It is for information.

Something is wrong when, in just 7 years, the AR style semi-automatic rifle suddenly becomes the weapon used in 50% of the top 10 deadliest mass shootings in US history. That quick of a jump to the top 10 should be a red flag to anyone with a brain, but not the NRA, a group that claims to be about gun safety. They want us to think any gun can do what an AR does, and constantly tell us "it's the person and not the gun". Well sorry folks, the design of that particular gun gives the "person" the ability to shoot more people more quickly. AR style rifles are not really, as the NRA will tell you, just like any other semi-automatic. The Las Vegas shooter would never have been able to do what he did with a semi-automatic handgun or semi-auto hunting rifle. Handguns don't have the range and hunting rifles aren't built to accept accessories like bump stocks.


If the NRA was really serious about gun safety it would be looking into why this weapon has made it to the top 10 so quickly, and how it has increased death tolls overall in mass shootings.

The NRA wants to protect AR style semi-automatic rifles (referred to as assault rifles) from being banned. Therefore, they are quick to point out that most mass shootings in America have been carried out with handguns. Technically they are correct (if you go back far enough and ignore recent history). But, like most propaganda , the so called “truth” is often used to cover up the real truth. Next time one of your NRA friends claims you don't know the facts about guns, actually let them know the real facts.

Fact: Of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in US history, 5 involved an AR style semi-automatic rifle, 1 involved an Uzi, 1 involved a bolt action rifle, and only 3 involved handguns.

Fact: 50% of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in American history were committed with an AR. Handguns were used in only 30%.

Fact: Of the 10 deadliest mass shootings, 177 people were killed by an AR style weapon, 21 were killed involving an Uzi, 18 were killed by a bolt action rifle, and 51 were killed by handguns.

Fact: AR style weapons killed more than 3 times the number of people killed by handguns in the 10 most deadliest mass shootings in US history.

Fact: 6 of the 10 deadliest mass shootings occurred just within the last 10 years. 5 of them were committed with an AR style semi-automatic. Only 1 of them was committed with a handgun.


Let those roll around in their heads for awhile.

Everybody else gets one, but Putin never gets disrespected by the orange one. What's up with that?

Trump to reporters-

"As soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be."


Translation- I may never accept that it was my buddy Putin because there's always that possibility it was an overweight guy making nerve gas in his basement.
