AR-15 platform doesn't meet statistical expectations for crime; about 23
million of those* among some 434 million privately owned firearms:

Fortunately, economists are absolutely enamored of large data sets. Some
parsing, examination and elucidation of actual data here:

Have economists calculated the number of tax dollars invested (or

Based on you many anti AR posts I assume that you are implying that if
there were no AR's there would be no mass "shootings"?

But, I must say that

https://www.thetrace.org/2023/07/mass-shooting-type-of-gun-used-data/
Concealable handguns have been involved in a majority of mass attacks
for decades
https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/public-mass-shootings-database-amasses-details-half-century-us-mass-shootings
Notably, most individuals who engaged in mass shootings used handguns
(77.2%), and 25.1% used assault rifles in the commission of their
crimes.
