From hand-waving attempts to connect modern AR-15 owners to a lynching that took place 3 generations ago, to technical nonsense like this:<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; They ... required no particular expertise to shoot or physical strength to carry. They were also deadlier than the rifles that had come before them, which used relatively large bullets that made a straight passage through the body on impact.<p>...this article is a cheap hit piece.
