No more than any other gun, and handguns kill far more people than the

I note that nobody here has yet posted a practical
benefit for such guns in civilian hands. And I note that you, John,
apparently do not own an AR-style rifle. That means you judge the
detriments of owning an AR-style rifle outweigh any practical benefits.

Well, I don't own any guns at the moment but when  I was shooting I
owned a considerable number over the years. I've, for example, owned,
and shot, a number of muzzle loading rifles, I've owned pistols
ranging from .22 to ,45 Colt Auto, Rifles in many sizes and I even
built custom varmint rifles and a few custom deer rifles.
But, no, I've never owned an AR type as I don't have any use for one
but if I was still shooting in rifle matches I would certainly have
several.

But I suppose he has to make up some sort of story to appear to have
at least a small knowledge about guns, but his ignorance is such that
his arguments prove, over and over again how little knowledge he
really has.

Krygowski fallaciously suggests that it's wrong to argue in favor of
anything you don't own.  One of the detriments of buying a good AR15
is the price. However, if they only cost a couple hundred bucks, I'd
probably buy one, if for no other reason, just to thumb my nose at the
anti-AR15 loons.

That was indeed a factor in my purchase 15 years ago. Did I
absolutely need a rifle? No. But the price was right and the
'drives some jerks to distraction' factor was part of it.
 That's the only reason I bought a 20 rd mag for one of my handguns. I
checked it out at a gun range and put it away empty in a drawer under
my socks. I don't need a "practical" reason to own or to do something.
Same thought process as my 1963 steel Huret Svelto derailleur on my titanium bike. Shifts fine (& extremely light compared to modern changers) and just makes peoples' heads explode.
