No argument here. Been voting libertarian for years. And I don't trust the dems because they want to take away EVERYTHING!
My only "NEED" of an AR15 or other Military style rifle is to defend myself from the government and It is about defense of freedom against tyranny..... and for other self defense.
My "WANT" greatly out caps my need...so it's really about WANT...and not so much about NEED
But then, My wants have always superseeded my needs....
Since my Wants are legal, I don't need to justify a need....
Now, I want to take a break so I need to take a nap.....
Just a little reality check...You would be fighting NATO troops not U.S. soldiers.
Oh,
and to the point of the thread - SISF's original post was terrific.
As to my personal opinion - gun makers might want to consider making things that look a bit less horrendous than what one can observe in extreme video games....all that black seems to scare liberals.
Myself - I dont need an AR-15. What I would like is a lightweight, magazine fed, center fire, semi automatic sporting rifle in something between 5.56 & 7.62 caliber.
Why do you NEED an AR-15?
Those that TRULY believe that they must be prepared to defend themselves against the US government are just crazy! If they really believe this then they need to arm themselves with much more than ARs. These nuts should be stocking up on all the same weapons are the US military. After all, it's not smart to bring a knife (i.e. an AR) to a gun fight. Why not drones or rocket launchers? If you can't afford these at least you should be stocking up on diesel and fertilizer.
The real reason to have ARs and large capacity mags is because it's your right and they are cool and when you go out and blast things it's fun. If you think a couple of good old boys with ARs can defeat the US military you must be nuts or at least very delusional.
Miss Silvera, I don't think you are married. If I tell my wife I want a new gun, she says I already have too many. I have to convince her I NEED THEM
