Original Note:
Democrats have consistently pushed for banning AR-15s and magazine capacities over 10 rounds. AR-15s are specifically designed for civilian use, and are not assault weapons by any definition. 17 rounds for handgun, and 30 rounds for rifle is standard, not high capacity. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna831171 https://firearmslegal.com/magazine-capacity-the-law/#:~:text=The%20AR%2D15%20became%20available,round%20capacity%20as%20a%20standard.
