Assault rifles weren’t in ”common use” either, until they they were.
Lol. You and Gretchen Carlson both need to learn math and history.
AR-15's have been purchased and owned/used by civilians since 1959. Statistics prove that ~20% of all new rifles produced since 1991 have been AR-15's.
I'm not sure if those stats include home manufactured AR's or not. If not, then I'd guesstimate that there's an additional 15% of the AR rifle market not being accounted for.
Either way, it's estimated that nearly 20 million AR-15's are owned in America. See: US has estimated 19.8 million AR-15's
That's a WHOLE LOTTA AR-15's in civilian hands. Which absolutely defeats your "not in common use" narrative.
