How was the federal ban effective when the same functional firearms were sold all throughout the ban period? Why is the homicide rate lower in Texas than Illinois?

No one here claimed the AR in AR-15 stood for assault rifle. You aren’t educated enough to be educating anyone. This all goes back to you being wrong. The term exists.

Armalite AR-15 was an assault rifle, yes. Look it’s even in the dictionary

That argument was lost a long time ago. It’s also incorrect.

How did it do anything when you could still buy the same functional firearms all throughout the ban period?

Definitely did not ban the AR-15 platform. Those same rifles were still produced and sold with slight modifications.

You mean the one that banned some features and naming conventions? The same functional rifles were still sold all throughout the ban. Since then we had Heller, McDonald, Caetano, and Bruen. Arms in common use cannot be prohibited.

You seem uneducated in the definition of assault rifle and the fact that the 94 ban didn’t actually ban the guns it set out to.

You sure?

Positive?

You sure?

Miller specifically talked about the militia and how when people were called for militia service they brought arms they supplied themselves. How can arms be in common use or self supplied if this wasn’t an individual right?

I literally laughed when I read this:

Through English’s multiple studies now, the overwhelming majority of defensive uses involve no shot fired. A random sampling of news reports for GVA is laughable.

This is some of the so called evidence against it. Using the NCVS survey results that were open ended, didn’t ask about DGU directly, and only account for personal victimization. You aren’t the first one to try to bring up Harvard BS as some sort of Ah ha.

Look how old some of the sources even are. This is response to 90s Kleck Survey, not anything by William English.
