Why are 99% of anti-gunners not willing to look up the actual definitions of the words they throw around when they're called out on their BS?

Their positions are based on feelings, not facts. The best you can do is make them feel so fucking stupid that they just shut up about it forever. The AR-15 is a great example of this, because you can point out that standard deer hunting bullets are much deadlier than .223, it's just that the AR-15 carries more of them.

>standard deer hunting bullets are much deadlier than .223
I read an article by some moron who wrote that AR15 boolits are "unusually fast at over 3000 feet per second, unlike the 750-1400 feet per second of most handguns."

That's... not exactly incorrect.
750 is a bit low, even .45 goes around 950 if I'm not mistaken. But .223 usually travels at around 2800 to 3000 FPS depending on barrel length.

Of course it isn't.
It's the comparison of a rifle round to handgun rounds, then calling the speed of the rifle round "unusually fast" when most hunting rifle rounds are in the 2500+ area already anyway, and many are even faster than 3000.
Not sure if misleading on purpose or moron generally believes it makes sense to compare "AR15 bullets" to handgun bullets.

Yeah no shit sherlock
What people don't realize is that you're still more likely to be struck by lightning than killed with a rifle of any kind, including an AR-15.
In 2014 according to the Uniform Crime Report published by the FBI, 248 people in the United States of America were killed by rifles of any kind. Let's round that up to 250 for the sake of easy math. There are an estimated 320,000,000 people in this country. 250/320,000,000 is simplified to 1/1,280,000. Your chances of being murdered by a rifle of any kind, including an "assault weapon" are positively minuscule.
*Let that sink in. One in one million, two hundred eighty thousand.*
According to the National Weather Service, your chances annually of being struck by lightning are somewhere around 1/700,000.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, your odds of dying in a motor vehicle collision are around 1/77.
These events are so entirely blown out of proportion. You hear about them all the time because the story sells so well. Whenever someone tells you of the bloodshed caused by "assault weapons", that person is either deliberately lying to you, or is hopelessly uninformed and averse to facts and evidence.

spoken to several far left co workers about the shooting, theyre clearly very confused about the situation and had very little to say that they understood anything about the scenario aside from that "someone with a scary gun specifically targetted gays to prove a point"
one actually managed to convince himself into SYMPATHY for the muslim shooter while having no real opinion on the gun itself
