The Daniel Defense rifle can be classified as an AR-15 type. The company had previously posted an ad showing a small child holding the gun on their Twitter page, which has now been locked as the company reportedly has withdrawn from Houston's NRA convention.
UVALDE, Texas — The rifle used in the Texas elementary school shooting is known as a “DDM4 Rifle.” It’s modeled after the M4 carbine, the U.S. military’s go-to rifle, according to a blog post by the gun’s maker, Daniel Defense.
AR-15-type rifles can be purchased for as little as $400, but the Daniel Defense rifle is on the high end at around $2,000 or more. These rifles can also be financed, with customers paying less than $100 a month. A sniper’s scope uses magnification to aid in hitting targets from a great distance. Holographic sights are designed to speed up the process of short-range shooting by helping to fix on targets more quickly.
Ryan Busse, a former firearms executive said, “In an industry with 500 companies all making the same products, you have to get ahead somehow.” Busse is the author of"Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America.”
