The post office needs to do a stamp series of iconic American firearms.

Phasers or nothing! They solve the pesky problem of body disposal as well!

Nice gesture, but is there something more tangible that Moore could be doing. As Rush used to say, “symbolism over substance.” Btw, I have no problem with AR-15’s, I’ve build a couple, but all weapons are equal in the eyes of the 2a.

Good idea? Yes.

What has a greater chance of survival, a snow ball in Hell or this enacted by Congress?

You will note the parenthesis around ‘giga’. We all know from movie trivia that Arnold botched his line in the movie (was supposed to have said ‘megawatt range’). 40 watts wont do much of anything. 40 Gigawatt, thats a rifle!

That’s giving short shrift to handguns, eh?

Make it “National RIFLE of America”, and I can dig it.

That would leave room for “National Handgun of America”, and National Shotgun, and National Blunderbuss, National Grenade Launcher, National Trebuchet...

Why limit ourselves?

+1 for the carbine! My favorite rifle. (until it was lost in a tragic boating accident, of course)

“Why go there?”

Almost the first thing that popped into my mind. Are we going to make a car the national vehicle of America. Or how about a screw driver the national?

One of the true “greatness” points of this country is we can take a tool, and we can make it better even for people that don’t use it. We can re-invent anything and make it better or more of it faster. But for the wrong purposes, we can also make that tool more than a tool. And seeing as it seems to be in the hands of the public to accept it is more than it is, we can allow our tools to be demonized by people that don’t use them.

Doesn’t it seem irrational for a class of people to attack something that is in the hands of the wrong people that the class is hired to stop and they attack those that are using it right because the rights provide something the wrongs can’t...cover.

You don’t punish the wrong part by aiding the right part in self denial. And you don’t put into that class of people the opportunity to do something so stupid as to memorialize a hammer or nail because someone wants to use you like the national doormat on the classes path to success. And both sides are guilty. And the media is sparking it. It is just a tool, people. Like the perfect mouse trap they are still looking for. And it will never be found until it is allowed to reach its capacity and no longer can be used incorrectly, the wrong tool that people are so concerned about...maybe.

Furthermore, 5.56 or .223?

All of them. The AR has ‘diversity’.

You shouldn't have shot me, Johnny. My grandmother shot me once.

Mozambique has an AK-47 on their flag. Why can’t a country have an M-16?
