Original Note:
The AR15 is designed to fire a bullet, not specifically to "kill people." For context, only a few hundred homicides in the United States each year involve rifles, and there are over 20,000,000 AR15s in civilian hands. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls https://www.businessinsider.com/us-20-million-ar-15-style-rifles-in-circulation-2022-5?international=true&r=US&IR=T
