I'm not trying to be snide and I'm not trying to get into a huge argument on the details of guns because I admittedly don't know a ton. That said, you guys are not being completely honest here. Maybe I've only shot really great ARs and really crappy hunting rifles, but the ARs are a different level of shooting for what they are made for.
ARs were originally designed as weapons for the military for war.
Every one of these shitbag mass shooters is using an AR for a reason.
SWAT teams and other military type organizations use ARs for a reason.
If a gang of 10 evil people start attacking your home and they're at close range, you are grabbing your AR and not your hunting rifle for that tactical situation. If you say otherwise I'm telling you right now that I don't believe you and you're following the NRA script to support an argument.
I don't necessarily think they should be outright banned, but they should be really fucking hard to get, like a silencer or an actual automatic "assault rifle". A disturbed 18 year old with a million red flags should not be able to buy one and go shoot up a school and whatever regulation it takes to do that should be done, in my opinion. I've bought my guns at stores and I've had to do the 3 day wait and I'm sure that they just never ran me and time expired, the current system is a joke.
