I cannot believe this drivel....and I am largely accustomed to the nonsense the NYSlimes puts out on a regular basis.

"devilish new campaign" "lightly adapted versions of potent battlefield weapons" "haunt society"

The AR-15 is no more an assault rifle than the 10/22. It is a NEUTERED gun in the fact that it is not full auto, nor does it offer 3 round burst fire. In fact this gun is not allowed for hunting in many states because the SMALL ROUND is not considered in ETHICAL KILL.

Absolutely pathetic that this magazine is not bankrupt yet. I cannot wait for the day when they go belly up.

So what, I would never buy an AR at Walmart anyway. I get my AR’s at dedicated gun shops that know what they’re talking about. The ones that were lost in a terrible fire and boating accident that is.

If the first paragraph is any indication, this writer belongs in an asylum.

"Renamed the AR-15, this semiautomatic assault rifle has come to haunt society in the hands of criminals and the deranged, who regularly kill innocent people in high-powered mass shootings."

Remember, that's the New York perspective. Consider that thoroughly before trusting any politician from New York, especially one who recently claims to have changed his mind.

Oh, good grief. I carried an AR-15 in Vietnam long before the Army adopted the gun as the M-16 (we were testing them for suitability for use by Orientals whose slighter build made handling an M1 Garand very difficult). Let's keep the history straight, guys.
