Mr Princep started The Great War in 1914 with a pathetic

So much insulting and deflecting to avoid dealing with
pertinent questions!
 
If a couple shots from a handgun are powerful enough to
start a world war, why do private citizens need access to more?
 
More specifically, there is no practical civilian need for
an AR-style rifle or for the ability to spray dozens of
rounds in less than a minute. The only documented public use
for that capability, AFAIK, has been to facilitate murders
of rooms full of innocent victims.
 
It's my bet that not one of you have used that capability
for anything but "fun." It's also my bet that neither John
nor Tom Kizer nor Mr. Tricycle Rider even own an AR-style
gun. You are arguing for the great benefits of something you
see no need to own.
 
And you're ignoring the obvious detriments to society -
because you have emotional attachment to guns. You love
them, and want nobody to speak ill of them.
 

As with bicycles, bicycle equipment, election decisions (all
discussed here recently) people make decisions for every
reason and for no reason, despite your disdain. and that's
their right.

But, but, but... as I and others have written there are millions of AR
type firearms in the U.S. and how many are used to in mass shootings.?

Using Frankie's thought process it is true that the majority of
bicycle deaths are of those using the "modern" multi speed bicycles
and thus restricting bicycle use to the older single speed, coaster
brake, bikes will reduce the number of bicycle deaths.
