It occurred to me that NRA cultists want the AR-15 rifles for the same reason psychotic mass shooters do: They can mow down a crowd of people without giving the victims a chance to overwhelm the shooter and beat him to death while he re-loads or re-cocks. For the psycho, this is the people in a mall or a classroom. For the cultist it is the zombie-like swarms of inner city blacks who will pour into the ‘burbs “as soon as the welfare checks stop.” I’ve seen it expressed in those terms more than once.
