They reported this....
LEWISTON, MAINE: The AR-15 rifle is America’s favorite semi-automatic rifle, as evidenced by the one in 20 Americans who own it.
Shorter than a baseball bat and lighter than a bowling ball, the AR-15s are affordable and easy to shoot, and their gentle recoil makes it easy to aim at targets.
The AR-15’s high-velocity bullets makes this rifle deadly — those who get shot with it, are quite literally eviscerated by the blast.
The aforementioned qualities make this rifle an absolute killing machine and the rifle model is the go-to 'weapon of choice' for mass shooters and other perps.
Then they realized it was a Ruger .308.....
Last night, law enforcement officials confirmed that the gunman in Lewiston, Maine, likely used a Ruger SFAR, an AR-10 that fires a .308 caliber cartridge, even more powerful than the AR-15.
Now they are after Ruger for making a more powerful gun than the evil AR-15
“The Ruger SFAR is the latest example of the how the gun industry innovates for lethality," Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the Violence Policy Center, said in a statement "Marketing for the gun brags how Ruger has successfully created a more powerful weapon on a smaller, lighter frame. It is long past time to hold accountable manufacturers such as Ruger that manufacture assault weapons that are repeatedly and predictably used in horrific mass shootings.”
You really can't make this shit up....
