no, that’s the point I was making , please pay more attention. I have 3 and yet none have been used to kill mass amounts of humans. they are target , hunting , and home defense tools. these weapons are used daily by tens of thousands every day. estimates say there are over 20,000,000 of these rifles in civilian hands right now. you would think we would have more of a problem than we do , but it only seems to be and yet less than 60 have been used in mass shootings. seems like an awfully small percentage. www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/

target practice is for target practice , shooting can actually be fun if you’re not a scared little child about it. tens of thousands use them for hunting anything from varmints to coyotes , wild hogs , deer. . . you might want to google a bit before making such silly claims. actually since they were specifically modified for the civilian population , no , they weren’t made for war. such dramatism. again, the post says “only purpose” and I’ve given you other purposes you choose to be ignorant and ignore them , that’s on you.
