Ordinary people didn’t have AR-15s before 2004. They’re not some time-honored American tradition, they’re a recent mistake that we could fix and save thousands of lives in the process.

Lets not even try to compare the number of deaths and disabling injuries caused by drunk drivers with the firearms deaths.
I'm sure in the minds of the Bent Left the firearms deaths are Orders Of Magnitude greater, when in fact the opposite is the true picture. //

She's dumber than she looks. After getting ratioed to Hell and back, as outlined above, she came back with this doozy:

"In 1992, AR-15s composed 21 of every 100 guns made in the US. By 2020 almost 1 in 5 guns made were AR-15s."
