As far as I’m concerned, the public should be able to acquire and own any weapon that is used by the police, and that includes the AR-15. We know that the police themselves will not likely come to the rescue during a shooting, so who’s going to protect us? No one but ourselves.
AR-10s are better.
Just sayin’.
Leftists want to repeal the 2nd Amendment so we will be easier to kill..they say it everyday..with what they constantly say about Conservatives, how we are “Dying out” they want us dead..end of story
But they don't want to ban guns
“AR-10s are better.”
I’m beginning to look in that direction myself. The hardest part will be deciding on optics.
“.. boils down to this: You didn’t hear what you thought you heard. “
You didn’t hear what you heard.
AR-15 in 6.5 grendel is better than an AR-10. Just saying.
Don’t be so sure about that. Three rounds by weight for every round of 7.62 is a big advantage.
Too late. Too many of them admitted what they were all about on camera and in op ed columns and in the yougov poll showing 39% of the donkeys want to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Nobody is buying the lie.
Amendment IIA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Here are quotes from two Democrats, before the Dem Party became the Hate America Party, that speak specifically to the premise of civilians using arms for war...
"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' the 'security' of the nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important."President John F. Kennedy
---------------------------------------------------
"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."
Vice President and Senator Hubert H. Humphrey
The primary and paramount reason for the 2nd Amendment was to protect the citizen's right to own and use weapons of war to fight, as civilians, any threat to our sovereignty foreign or domestic.
If anything ever went downhill, these libs would be crowding into my yard for protection.
That is NOT a "donkey".
Selecting a very popular round(s) for a first and second weapon makes more sense to me rather than selecting a weapon for a specific optimal round.
Obviously a personal decision....
Three rounds of 7.62 is a big advantage....
What is truly remarkable is that even a recent former Supreme Court Justice would flunk the most elementary test of the history of the Constitution.
Two essential questions are never asked --- or answered :
1. Can the Bill of Rights be amended or repealed?
2. Would our Constitution have been ratified and adopted without the Bill of Rights as written?
A little thought will confirm the right answers should be...
Why was the Declaration of Independence signed Aug 2, 1776 but the adoption of the Constitution took until May 29,1790? Transportation was slow back then, but not that slow! Would the Union exist today without the Bill of Rights?
The rational factual answer would make the ignorant "progressive" Dim Marxist liberal heads explode Coast to Coast.
It costs a very great deal of money to attack us on a state-by-state level, which is the current strategy. More important, the blithe assumption that once in place such prohibitions can never be overturned has been resoundingly shattered with the direction that concealed carry has taken nationwide and with the expiration of the AWB. Noise and media hysteria haven't carried the issue and they're not going to. And they might just kill the Dems' chances in November.
While the MSM is amphlifing the 2A protesters bs. The rest of us are going through NICS checks and buying ammo and upgrading memberships or joining the NRA. Now Im nauseating and deplorable. Hate to burst their bubble but flattering me won t make me like them.
Darn journalists! "... the tragic Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School what in February?"

Well, there was that bit about the Articles of Confederation which lasted several years, which kinda didn’t work and had to be replaced by the Constitution.
