[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion as someone who fought in a war, the AR-15 is not a weapon of war. [/quote]
Honest question: why is that?  The AR-15 is basically an M-16 with the full auto disabled, and the M-16 was the primary battlefield firearm for the U.S. armed forces for many, many years.[/quote]You've basically got it. But that's a big difference.  Also, aside from the side-arm, the M-16 is the weakest "weapon of war" in the US arsenal.  Calling an AR-15 a weapon of war is like calling a Honda Civic a race car.[/quote]

What the hell are you talking about?  The M-16 is the primary handheld weapon issued and used in the US military.  Comments like that pretty much torch your credibility.[/quote]What weapon in the US military, other than the sidearm (which I listed), is weaker than the M-16?[/quote]

Sig mcx in 300 blk subsonic, mp5s [/quote]I stand corrected.  I'll correct.  The M-16 is ONE OF the weakest "weapons of war" in the US military arsenal.  Calling an AR-15 a weapon of war is like calling a Honda Civic a race car.[/quote]

Look i dont give a fug, i own a 50 cal BMG. I just don't like your argument that AR-15s aren't weapons of war. It is a weapon of war, just like the constitution and the founding fathers intended. [/quote]They aren't used in conventional wars.  If you'd like to argue that they are used by lesser militaries then you'd also have to call Toyota pickup trucks "weapons of war."  It's a rifle for hobbyists.[/quote]

ok which conventional war in the last 20 years didnt infantry go around carrying m4s?[/quote]AR-15s aren't MP4s.[/quote]
