Reporter Claims She’s Never Met Someone With an AR-15 Who Wasn’t a Killer, Gets Roasted
By Daily Wire. Over the weekend, Newsweek writer Nina Burleigh discovered that law-abiding, gun-owning Americans take offense when you claim they’re all “mass murderers.”
Responding to Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) suggestion that gun owners who resist government authorities who might confiscate their weapons could be literally nuked from orbit, Burleigh decided to wax poetic on why, exactly, she felt the nation’s 15,000,000 or so legally owned AR-15 rifles should be immediately taken from their owners.
No AR-15 owner she’s met, Burleigh said, has been anything short of a mass murderer.
Almost every single person I’ve ever heard of with an AR-15 has been a mass murderer. Based on Twitter sample the rest of them are scarily paranoid. Get on the right side of history @DLoesch @Rambobiggs #gunsense https://t.co/rFtHFBpvLM

. . .
The math didn’t occur to Burleigh, however, or the fact that a vast majority of AR-15 owners are hunters, target shooters, and former members of the military who wanted to take home a small piece of military technology. The vast majority of AR-15 owners are also, of course, not homicidal maniacs.
I know multiple people who own AR-15’s, and none of them has ever shot anyone, much less committed mass murder. I have met one mass murderer, however, but he was a doctor in my town who did about 50 abortions a day. Guess not all murder is committed with a gun.

That's because you haven't ever been around guns and dont understand them. You're just a follower of the rhetoric and scare tactics MSNBC uses. Educate yourself about what it is you want taken away from others

Newsweek Writer: Only AR-15 Owners I Know Are Mass Murderers
By The Daily Caller. Newsweek writer Nina Burleigh claimed Saturday that almost every person she has heard of who owns an AR-15 rifle “has been a mass murderer.”
And “based on Twitter sample the rest of them are scarily paranoid,” Burleigh tweeted.
“Get on the right side of history,” she urged, tagging NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch and right-wing personality Joe Biggs, who are both outspoken supporters of the Second Amendment.

The weirdest thing about gun grabbers is how open and proud they are of being as uninformed and ignorant as possible on the subjects of which they want to be seen as a voice of reason and authority

Your reminder that the Left has a culture of hating gun owners, not just opposing gun ownership.
That’s why they are so comfortable parading ignorance on the topic.
It’s not really about the guns anymore, it’s about ridiculing and antagonizing those who choose to own them. https://t.co/yHWkDev1dd

AR-15 rifles were used in the Newtown school shooting, the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Aurora, Colorado shooting at a movie theater, and other mass shootings. An estimated 8 million to 15 million people own AR-15s, making it the most popular rifle in America. (Read more from “Newsweek Writer: Only AR-15 Owners I Know Are Mass Murderers” HERE)
