The mass shootings along with their A15s have been committed by Americans.

While it's obvious you're still deflecting from the topic of the thread, either with your hunting diversions or now with illegal immigrants, it's also obvious Biden isn't encouraging thousands of illegal immigrants to cross the borders since the the issue hurts him politically and, needless to say, he believes in enforcing our laws. That said, you have it in your head that immigrants are either here to commit crimes or vote illegally. That much is evident from your past posts on the matter.
Getting back on topic, the AR15 is the prefered killing machine of mass murders who are typically American citizens...

The Terminology Of The "Assault" Rifle

Joe Manchin wants to raise the age to buys guns to 21 and doesn't see the need for AR15s. Doesn't he get donations from the NRA? I guess not, he gets a "D" rating from them...

The reported GOP senators ideas for AR15: 
A. Oppose any increase of the minimum age from 18 to 21.
B. Have Mommy or Daddy or a parental guardian sign off on it if under 21.
C. Maybe some sort of mental health check or background check which constitutes a waiting period without calling that.
Can't wait to see the watered down version...

If you've wondered why sales of AR15s are shooting off into the stratosphere in GEORGIA, then hear from those who are buying and selling them:

You'll also understand the primary rationale behind the critical thinking skills enabling the purchasers of these particular rifles and why we're likely to have more mass shootings with these weapons of war and why Marjorie Taylor Greene keeps getting re-elected in GEORGIA:
1. Gotta have 'em to protect us from a tyrannical gubermint.
2. Joe Biden is going to take 'em away from you.
3. "Home Defense"!
4. Utterly nonsensical...

Mel, which kind of round in the AR15s that have been used in the mass shootings that has murdered masses of people is the one that actually kills, instead of wounds, people?
BTW, "The US Army contended in 2003 that the lack of close range lethality of the 5.56×45mm NATO was more a matter of perception than fact. With controlled pairs and good shot placement to the head and chest, the target was usually defeated without issue. The majority of failures were the result of hitting the target in non-vital areas such as extremities."

Here's why AR15 owners say they "love" the weapon:

The guy who sells 'em says he'll use it for self defense to "clear his apartment" Are you kidding me? Doesn't he know those rounds are going to go through drywall or his front door and quite possibly into his neighbor's apartment? At least one and possibly two of the responding officers to the Uvalde mass shooting was hit in this manner.

Lawmakers discuss the AR15 and the "need" for it:
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/06/08/gun-safety-laws-congressmen-ar-15-age-restriction-manu-raju-newday-vpx.cnn
One of the main things noted in these discussions is that the AR15 IS THE American sporting rifle. I was just wondering what THE American sporting rifle was BEFORE the advent of the AR15. I mean what was THE American rifle before the coveted AR15 arrived? What was THE rifle before the AR15 and all the mass shootings that go with it and the fear of a tyrannical gubermint that I don't recall reading about in the history books, other than in colonial times, and so on and so forth?

I see , why don't you inform the army?  And since you're so knowledgeable about guns and rounds, maybe you can answer my question in post #43.

Hmm, just wondering why it's so lethal in all of the mass shootings?...
