Where lots of hand guns shoot much larger shells and do much more damage. Please help me understand why you think ARs are so bad! Please give reasons and not emotions.

I'm against any kind of gun that's designed for war. 40-60 rpm isn't something you need for deer-hunting or any other kind of sport hunting. And unless you are defending yourself from a hoard of invaders, you don't need 40-60 rpm for self-defense.
To me it's a cost/benefit thing - the costs to society outweigh the benefits to the individual - drastically.
