You rant about the AR's but not a peep about the drunks.

Part of the difference is that we don't have posters

owning one.

I don't believe I ever implied that I was in favor of AR

I do remember his showing a picture of his wife/
girlfriend's AR.

Nope, you're losing track of the logic again.
 
Many years ago, we had one poster here who bragged about his
chaotic bicycling behavior, including riding while very
drunk. He's long gone. But even he did not post in favor of
drunk driving. If someone did, I'd argue against them.
 
We do have people posting in favor of essentially
unrestricted public possession of rifles capable of rapidly
killing dozens of people. I argue against them, because I
see the societal disadvantages greatly exceeding the
(nonexistent!) societal advantages.

Nice summary of your oft-expressed views.
Others do not see the issues similarly.

The frustrating thing is that I've told him and you've told him that
many, many firearms are capable, or capable with an easily purchased
part, of doing everything that an AR can do.

I'm guessing but I suspect that the use of the AR for school shooting
may be due to them being so cheap to buy and school kids don't have
much money. I see AR's for about $400 and in comparison a  REMINGTON
7600 CARBINE 30-06 19 INCH " BARRELis is over $1,000.
