FBI Report: Crime in the US Shows Rifles Rarely Used to Murder
But interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle. A shotgun was used 235 times to commit a murder.
The FBI publishes this data, so it's not some made up numbers. Note that the 297 number is for ALL rifles, not just AR-15s.
So no, it won't make any significant difference, and yes, it's banning scary guns.
As far as fighting against our own military - we'd have to fight though all of the alphabet organizations first. If we were at the point of fighting against our own military, I got news for you, those folks are generally like minded as the patriots. You're more likely to see a military coup in that scenario.
