48. So, you already have firearms and you wish to add an AR-15?

Please understand, I am NOT being snarky here, I am genuinely concerned. The fact that your firearms have not hurt anyone so far is no guarantee they won't in the future.

The story you link to is a masterpiece of psyops meant to engender fear, which seems to be working very well.

To quote Frank Herbert, "Fear is the mindkiller". A person in a state of fear is easy to manipulate, which is why the tone of politics has changed so much in the last half century to a never-ending drum-beat of fear.

The greatest threat to your life at this very moment will be getting into your car and driving somewhere. No firearm will protect you from the oblivious moron who blows through a traffic light and t-bones you into the graveyard. You were at greater risk of losing your life stepping out of the shower this morning, than you will ever be from a terrorist assassin.

I had a Quaker minister from Burundi as a guest in my house this past weekend. His country is awash with weapons, and yet people die every day, victims of violence and the plethora of firearms doesn't stop the violence.
