Alabama Representative Barry Moore, a staunch gun-rights supporter, is proposing that the AR-15 rifle should be the "National Gun of America."

On Tuesday, Alabama Representative Barry Moore announced a bill that would make the AR-15 the "National Gun of America."

"The #SecondAmendment is as American a right as freedom of speech, religion, & the press," Moore wrote on Twitter Tuesday evening. "Today I unveiled my bill to make the AR-15 the National Gun of America. We must send a message that we will meet every attack on any of our constitutional rights."

But which barrel length? 8, 10, 14, 16, 22?

See I knew I could start an argument.

What caliber??
22
9
223
300
etc...

I would argue that the AR-15 IS the natl gun already.
They are the Legos of the gun world.

But I would say complete unrestrict ARs: Pistol/ SBR/ Rifle. Semi, bolt action..

Nice sentiment Laz, but if it passes the House, it will die in the Senate. The DEMwits couldn’t get rid of the filibuster.

Great, but what happens in a few years when we want the national gun to be the "phased plasma rifle in the 40-(giga)watt range"?

Actually you are wrong about that. The Phased Plasma rifle is not 40 gigawatts, it is 40 watts.

Maybe a good goal for some people would be to collect the “national gun” of various nations around the world!

Although, as a reminder, guns are dangerous.
