This can't be accurate.

But seriously though, these people are talking out of their asses.

The AR-15 was out on the civil market 1~ year prior to its adoption.
There were just as mass shootings in his time, they just called it something else and wasn't given as much attention.

just as many*

Really? Sounds like a hell of a time to be alive.

I don't think Stoner really cared about any of his stuff being available to civs. He lived before the ban of 1986, after all, and in the 50s-60s shooting was popular with tons of people.

What I think these faggots are doing is exploiting the memory of their exemplar family member to push an agenda, like the media always does. If the Orlando Fagshoot had been commited with a 1911 or even a Single Action Army you'd an article about how John Browning or Samuel Colt ornever intended their use for civilians (IT HAS ARMY IN THE NAME! BAN IT!).

And he was alive when the IRA was using AR-18s

Kind of, mostly it wasn't given as much attention as today. They just blew over like Kansas

and people were like, "I told you he was crazy".
Not saying that nobody called for gun control though. The idea has always been around and pushed for.

>Stoner wouldn't like his guns used to kill innocent people
No shit, that doesn't mean he would want them banned.

August 1, 1966.
Eugene Stoner was alive and well.
This fine young Marine killed 18 and injured 31.
But he used an M1 carbine and a bunch of pump-action shotguns, so it's okay.
These people are a disgrace to Eugene's legacy. But they're saving face, I guess.

OP here, I posted what I saw. That's all.

Im sure hed be horrified. Not that civvies have access to an AR, but that it was used. I know that people feel an immense attachment to their inventions, so that might make him sad.
