6 LIES about the AR-15 told by each side
Private ownership of the AR-15 has been a hot topic for decades and the debate surrounding it has led to some disingenuous arguments....
In this video, I address the top lies that come from both sides of the debate.

VIDEO CORRECTIONS:
(This video is intended to dispel lies. Therefore, it would be inconsistent of me to not mention the following corrections. "Always tell the truth, or at least, don't lie." -JBP)
1) Though many sources state that AR stands for "Armalite", AR stands for "Armalite Rifle", not just "Armalite".
2) At 2:30, I reference the GVA stats on annual mass shootings and then again refer to their data at the 2:55 mark. However, the source referenced at the 2:55 mark that I cite for mass shootings involving rifles reports a much smaller number of overall mass shootings because they use the mass shooting criteria set by Mother Jones. Therefore, when I state that since 1985, only 49 of those mass shootings reported by the GVA are done with a rifle, this was an inadvertent conflation of data. Though, this still does not detract from the overall argument that a small percentage of mass shootings are performed with a rifle.

"A Principal source of errors and injustice, are false ideas of utility. For example, that legislator has false ideas of utility, who considers particular more than general convenience; who had rather command the sentiments of mankind, than excite them, and dares say to reason, "Be thou a slave;" who would sacrifice a thousand real advantages, to the fear of an imaginary or trifling inconvenience; who would deprive men of the use of fire, for fear of being burnt, and of water, for fear of being drowned;
and who knows of no means of preventing evil but by destroying it.
The laws of this nature, are those which forbid to wear arms, disarming those only who are not disposed to commit the crime which the laws mean to prevent. Can it be supposed, that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of
humanity, and the most important of the code, will respect the less considerable and arbitrary injunctions, the violation of which is so easy, and of so little comparative importance? Does not the execution of this law deprive the subject of that personal liberty, so dear to mankind and to the wise legislator; and does it not subject the innocent to all the disagreeable circumstances that should only fall on the guilty? It certainly makes the situation of the assaulted worse, and of the assailants better, and rather encourages than prevents murder, as it requires less courage to attack armed than unarmed persons."
-Cesare Beccaria's Essay on Crimes and Punishments
"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” -Democratic Vice President and Minnesota Sen. Hubert Humphrey
