Ban AR-15s

Cameron — Residents of Highland Park, Illinois were excited to celebrate July 4th with their family at the annual parade. But instead of fireworks, gunshots rang out. From a nearby rooftop, Robert Crimo used an AR-15 to kill 6 people and injure 46 others. He obtained his gun legally. Kimarie started her petition because she believes AR-15s have no place in our society. She knows AR-15s are not used to hunt - they are used to kill. She's hoping you'll join her in her call to ban AR-15s in the US. BAN AR-15 GUNS 105,340 have signed Kimarie Santiago's petition. Let's get to 150,000! Sign now with a click When will we stop mass shooters? BAN THIS GUN NOW!! Hunters, gun lovers: we aren't asking to take away your guns. We are asking to ban the AR-15 assault rifle. AR-15 is NOT NECESSARY to hunt for animals nor protect yourself!! AR-15s inflict much more damage to human tissue than the typical handgun. That's largely because of the speed at which projectiles leave the weapons; they are much faster out of the muzzle of an AR-15, and deliver a more devastating blow to bones and organs. Those projectiles are also more likely to break apart as they pass through the body, inflicting more damage. When the higher muzzle-velocity projectiles strike an organ, you're more likely to have severe injury and bleeding. Dying is more likely with this style weapon, than with lower muzzle-velocity munitions. This is why so many mass shooters are using this weapon - they can murder more innocent victims at once.  BAN THESE WEAPONS NOW!! Sign and tell congress: we do not want these weapons available to the public for any reason. Sign now with a click Visit petition page At Change.org, we believe in the voice of everyday people.
