Some facts on the popular assault weapons in America and how guns have evolved since the time of the Second Amendment. In the late 18th century, a musket was expected to be able to fire 4 rounds a minute versus the 45 rounds a minute today for an AR-15 rifle. Modern guns are extremely powerful and yet highly accessible.

This is total bias. All weapons (or at least specific models) were used by good and evil alike. AR-15’s and AK-M ( the latter is the more common variant of the AK-47) styled rifles are also commonly used by civilians, the law abiding and, unfortunately and occasionally, the law braking. This list excludes weapons which are just as effective as the AR-15 and AK-M, which are Ruger Mini-14’s and Mini-30’s. Know what you’re talking about. By the way, according too http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8, ALL rifles combined are used to kill less than 500 people in the U.S, a year. P.S: back in the 1700’s, people had the same weapons as the government. And, if the government can limit you to muskets & blunderbusses, they can also limit TV, radio and the internet. Same about religion. You can practice Christianity but not Scientology.
