AR-15 rifles are increasingly becoming the main weapon of mass execution in the United States, including school shooting in Florida, which has become the bloodiest in the number of victims since 2012.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) called the AR-15 "the most popular rifle in America," and believes that more than 8 of millions of Americans own this brand of weapon.

NRA said that "AR-15 has become very popular" due to its "settings, adaptation, reliability and accuracy." This type of weapon is also versatile and can be used for “sport shooting, hunting and self-defense,” the NRA said, adding the ability to “personalize” many components of a rifle ”is one of the things that makes it so unique.”

The brady campaign to prevent gun violence, also stated that the AR-15, the civilian model of the military M-16, has become popular due to its versatility.

“They're accurate and they fire as fast as you pull the trigger,” the campaign said in a statement.

But Dean Hazen, the owner The gun experiments to Mahomet, Illinois, and a firearm master instructor, said the reason why the shooters use AR-15 in mass executions is due to the mentality "copy-catMore than any other feature of the rifle.

Hazen said the gunners usually know little about weapons and choose the AR-15 because of the reputation the rifle gained in other mass shootings.

“Thank God they don’t know any better, because if they did, they would have used much more effective weapons,” Hazen said.
