I got a baby rescue skunk last summer. His name Carlo. Now he is plump and a big baby. He cannot spray but a burglar do not know that. He is very playful and curious and have toys that hide his treats and he must figure them out.
@Ozuye502 a car is fairly essential and expensive too, but you don't let people drive those without training either.
What does it matter what AR stands for? You can name that same thing R2D2 or 34D if you want, but that won't make it fire bullets any slower. My only point on those statistics is that not every shooting is the same, so just averaging the number of casualties in two categories won't tell you anything about how someone else would/could have handled it.
@NerdyPotato armalite rifle and has the same rate of fire as a m1911 hand gun (you the same hand gun used in every WW2 and Vietnam movie) hell American GIs were packing that back in WW1. Yes the AR15 was INTENDED for the civilian market and had to be modified for military use and spits the same amount of rounds per minute as a hand gun built in 1911. By the way that hand gun only holds 8 rounds.
You are correct however a car is viewed as a privilege not a right.
