From Bearing Arms: WaPo wrestles with 400-million privately owned guns
They take apart a WaPoo article on the AR-15. There are a lot of problems, but this is perhaps the stupidest. The article claims that the AR-15 didn't exist before the 2000s. (You can debunk the following by going to the WiKi.) Then what was it exactly that Clinton's ban targetted in the 1990s?
Now, I have no idea where Bump got his claim that AR-15s and other modern sporting rifles didn’t exist as a consumer product until the early 2000s, especially since his employer just ran a 10-part series on the AR-15 that included a look at how it’s been marketed since the 1960s, but that mistake pales in comparison to the idea that public safety is tied to the number of firearms in the hands of peaceable Americans.
