As Twitchy has reported, the House voted by a narrow margin Friday to reinstitute the assault weapons ban, and they’re using “assault weapon” interchangeably with “AR-15.” They’ve been doing their best to make the AR-15 sound as scary as possible, with Rep. Lucy McBath claiming that exit wounds from an AR-15 can be a foot wide, AR-15 rounds cause skulls to explode on impact, and the reason you never see the bodies is that they’ve been vaporized. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. added that an AR-15 “war weapon” “liquefies tissue and vaporizes bone.”
That certainly does sound like a powerful weapon. The House Judiciary Democrats put out a video describing the history of the AR-15, interspersing it with news footage of mass shootings and general panic. Watch and learn:
Assault weapons are designed for ruthless efficiency, killing the most people in the shortest time.
There is no place for them on our streets or in our communities. pic.twitter.com/iD6rPUDPdw

AR-15 isn't an assault rifle, it's semi automatic, one round fired for one trigger pull, only difference between it and a semi automatic .223 hunting rifle is the "spooky" looking stock/grip and higher capacity magazine.

No one cares, we'll continue to get what we want because we can and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've got plenty of room in my house, my truck and my hands for them. You'll see soon that your efforts were a waste of taxpayer money and time. You're on the losing side of history.

Great weapon, highly recommend one for every American.

So what you're saying is that everyone should own at least two of these bad boys.

Haha I have so many of these things that sometimes I actually think I should get rid of some of them just to free up some space in my house. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. The key takeaway here is that you have literally zero input or control over what I do. You just don’t matter.

It is obvious that none of @HouseJudiciary has ever been in a position where they were forced to protect their livestock, or their families, from predators.
They have a security detail to do that for them. Will the security detail be allowed to possess these firearms?— Mike Davis (@mobilemikervtec) July 29, 2022
Then have the government surrender them.

Working hard for that police state. Tyrants.

So why does the Department of Education have them?
— Typo (@TheRealTypo) July 29, 2022
Yet the IRS, retired police and board of education all get to keep their firearms including full auto firearms that are illegal to the public.

What's an assault weapon? Can you assault someone with a baseball bat? Is that considered one? How about an SUV when you plow over people at a parade? Can you please update the wikipedia page on this?

Ownership should be mandatory

Yes, it quickly stops criminals, muggers, aggressors, tyrants, and so on. It equalizes force — for example, a small framed woman against a larger rapist.
I understand your dissatisfaction, though, those attackers are primarily your voter base. Too bad it's an enumerated right.

Listen to President Joe Biden: Don’t buy an AR-15, buy a shotgun. He has anywhere between two and five himself.
