Why are AR15s legal?

[Anonymous]

Serious question - who really thinks having these types guns available to the general public is a good idea? Why are gun owners choosing these guns to take a stand? If you are a hunter or a sportsman, would you want one of these? If you do, you are a pretty sucky hunter is all I will say. What about if you want a gin for personal protection? Who the heck actually wants one of these?

Ask the Russian funded NRA or the NRA funded GOP.

No rational person uses an AR-15 for hunting or personal protection.

It’s the most popular rifle in America and has been for years. It’s incredibly modular and customizable, has low recoil, handles lots of calibers (for hunting, home defense, competition shooting), is much easier to use than something like a shotgun (so good for disabled persons, such as a veteran I know who uses one to protect his home). But you’ve decided that they’re evil, or “machine guns,” or only used by “sucky hunters,” and have no legitimate purpose. So I’m not going to say anything else, because you have your opinion about them. So do the millions of normal Americans who own them.

Ps: they’re not going anywhere, so focus on something else.

Hey what school are you going to shoot up?

They should not be. They aren't the first or even second choice gun to defend a person or a home. They aren't great for hunting unless you are the douchebag that wants to blast away at a living thing instead of lining up a shot like a decent hunter.

Basically they are attractive for guys who like to play army soldier or blast away at paper targets. And for wackos who want to kill a lot of people.

I say ban them except with federal license. That way, if you are regularly being chased by a pack of wild boars, or if a black ops team is likely to surround your house, you can have access to it.

This juvenile and divisive attitude is a big reason we’re not going to have gun control anytime soon. I guess you’re complicit, too.

No, but you seem to have a small mind.

I'm not seeing much in the way of need here. There are better guns for target practice. There are better guns for home defense, even ones your disabled vet friend can use. Hunting? There's a reason you can't even hunt with .223 in many places. Headshot hunting, bad body shots that are inhumane, and jerks that want to fire off a bunch of rounds. None of my family would be caught dead doing that. Yes you can customize it if you really have to justify it as a hunting weapon, but by the time you change out the upper and possibly the lower receiver, you should have bought a hunting rifle.

You like it and you don't want it taken away, but you have not made a good argument for why people should be able to own it. Scalia has already ruled that the government has the right to regulate types of weapons, so don't even go there.

Popular is not good enough. Fun is not good enough.

This!! 80% of Americans want tougher gun laws but the NRA &Russian paid off the GOP so we are stuck with this sh*t.

Clearly 80% of Americans don't want tougher gun laws or we'd have them. Lots of democrats are gun enthusiasts too.
