Most firearm-related homicides in the United States involve handguns. [96] [97] [98] A 2019 Pew Research study found that 3% of US gun deaths were caused by rifles, a category which includes AR-15–style rifles. [99] According to a 2013 analysis by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, 14 out of 93 mass shootings involved high-capacity magazines or assault weapons. [100] Nevertheless, AR-15–style rifles have played a prominent role in many high-profile mass shootings in the U.S. [101] and have come to be widely characterized as the weapon of choice for perpetrators of these crimes. [102] AR-15s or similar rifles were the primary weapons used in half of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern American history: [103] [104] the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting, [105] the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, [106] and the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. [107] The first time wherein an AR-15–style rifle was used in a mass shooting was in 2007, during the Crandon shooting, according to Mother Jones 's mass shooting database. [108] [109] Gun expert Dean Hazen and mass murder researcher Pete Blair think that mass shooters' gun choices have less to do with the AR-15's specific characteristics but rather with familiarity and a copycat effect.

Dyke also had a longtime friend in the U.S. Senate, Maine Republican Susan Collins.

The main challenge they faced in selling the gun to the government was a centuries-old tradition of the army designing its own weapons.

The ban expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset clause (which required satisfactory evidence of a positive impact on crime for renewal of the ban).

The lower receiver alone is legally defined as a firearm under United States federal law. However, this definition may be questionable due to several court rulings (or government dismissals to avoid rulings) that the AR-15 lower receiver does not match the legal definition in 27 CFR § 479.11, [28] [29] [30] though a 2021 case from the Eighth Circuit found otherwise.
