Caring about ARs is a “minimum performative effort” initiative. They’re generally an expensive, niche firearm, so banning them actually impacts few people, but they’re scary-looking, “military” weapons. AR bans are most likely to get public support, regardless of any actual impact on gun deaths. It’s the firearm version of a transgender bathroom ban.
Low end AR-15s are not any more expensive than a mid-quality deer rifle.
Here’s a thought though. If only women had AR-15s there would be far, far less killings. If the Amish were the only ones who owned AR-15s there would be virtually no killings.
Many buy AR-15 rifles because they want to kill - as did Kyle Rittenhouse murders. They fall back to shotguns, handguns or whatever they can get their hands on, including bombs, flammables and vehicles.

Not surprised you’re getting downvoted by the White Fragility™ and “I CANNOT POSSIBLY BE RACIST!!!™” brigade.
