so what's the big deal some teenager was roaming the streets with it? oh,yeah there's this:
AR-15 rifles are lighter and have a higher rate of accuracy than the AK-47, but the AK-47 is considerably cheaper and more dependable in comparison.
and this:The AR-15 is sometimes called "America's Rifle" because it is the most popular long gun in the country. There are around 10 million AR-15 units currently in the United States. In fact, the AR-15 has also been popular with perpetrators of mass shootings — the gun was used in the San Bernardino, Aurora and Sandy Hook shootings.
whew, I feel so much better now that you said it wasn't an AK-47

No, it wasn't an "AK-15 style" rifle either...
AR actually stands for "Armalite Rifle". Armalite is the company that developed the rifle...
And yes, it is THE most popular rifle sold in the US. Maybe THAT's why he bought it...
And Glocks are the most popular handgun. And surprisingly, they are the handgun most often used in a crime.
Hmmm, I'm sensing a trend, something to do with statistics...
