In February 2018 , after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in which 17 were killed , Roberts came out in favor of age limits on the AR-15 , the assault rifle that the assailant used in the high school shooting . Roberts said , " Certainly nobody under 21 should have an AR-15 . I do n't know why anybody would want an AR-15 unless they 're going to take one out on the shooting range "
