1) I'd challenge the statement that AR-pattern rifles are often used. Lately they have been but, historically, that has not been the case.
2) They've been used more often then usual lately because the Feds are supplying them as part of the op to destroy the 2nd Amendment. I've heard that faggot in CHI actually had the exact same rifle as either the local police dept or the local FBI field office. Cannot confirm but its plausible.
3) As to AKs, until recently most of the US-manufactured ones were kinda crap. And to get an import you are talking a bit of a premium relative to an entry level AR-pattern domestically-made.
The Bernie bro who shot up the dead ate baseball practice had an AK, other then that it’s been awhile.
Sometimes idealogy trumps practicality. I'm sure that faggot used an AK-pattern because its the battle rifle of Communists.
