Hawkins: Last Night We Saw Why Americans Own 16+ Million AR-15s

NSSF shared their calculations with Breitbart, showing an estimated 16= million privately owned AR-15s in the U.S.

But as it turns out, AR-15s are owned by black people and white people, and by all skin colors in between.

On August 31, 2018, Breitbart News reported more than nine million AR-15s were manufactured for sale in the U.S.

And on May 30, 2020–at the height of the Minneapolis rioting–Breitbart News reported on black business owners standing guard with AR-15s outside their properties.

On November 4, 2019, Breitbart News reported on a pregnant Florida woman who used an AR-15 to kill an alleged home intruder while her husband was under attack.
