but these, the purpose of the ar -15 series weapons is to kill and mame human beings. that s it and what the m16 series roof els were designed for for our military but they certainly kill but beyond that when a round of an ar-15 hits you, it s meant to just tear the body apart so the wounded person can t get up and fight again and so to me having those weapons in civilian hands is absolutely madness and by the way those four deputies that didn t go into the school i think i can tell you what happened. they re outside with handguns and they re hearing that semi- automatic fire inside, pop pop pop pop pop pop pop. well it s like going in there with bare hands, and you know these semi-automatic weapons, the ar-15, even without a bump
