I know most all here are owners/familiar with the AR platform, good background/history info though on the Armalite rifle, and great pictorial at the Truth about the AR-15 link above.

AR-15, aka “Modern Sporting Rifle”

It may be true that the Nashville shooter carried an AR platform (with a super-scary Arm Brace attached,) S/He/It used a Kel-Tec SUB2000 pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 9x19mm for the actual shooting.

So the presence of an AR is not germane to the discussion.

“semiautomatic rifle, which means it fires only one round for every trigger pull.”

What? Were all of those leftist “fire arms experts” lying? Perish the thought! What about fully semiautomatic?

Armalite designed this rifle 60 years ago. It is obsolete for some of the military. It is a great equalizer to stop armed invasion of this country.

Obama had the largest number of red flag incidents in history and now OBuyden wants to do it again. They are practitioners of propaganda, mind control and human trafficking.

I'd really like to see someone present Biden or the biddies on The View with a handful of cartridges ranging from .22 to 50 cal. and let them pick out the ones that they think a typical AR-15 shoots.

Of course, they'd probably wet themselves at the sight of real ammunition.

***All of these debates are folks trying to somehow define or create some “label” of what constitutes an evil gun.***

There is no such thing. It does not exist.

Stop looking for it, stop trying to create some “label” of what that might be, today.

Yesterday it was a pistol grip and bayonet lug, high capacity magazines before that, long ago it was so called “cop killer” ammo... The ideas of what constitutes an evil gun changes quicker than the environmentalist agenda!

The gun has become a symbol.

It has become a rallying point around which folks gather, no differently than in the past with flags and drums on the battlefield.

The question is simply if you’re willing to open Pandora’s box and go down the slippery slope of controlling what is a Constitutional right. But then again, name me one of the first ten amendments which hasn’t been abridged? The US Constitution is pretty much a joke at this point anyhow, shredded by a bureaucracy that justifies its existence by creating ever more rules and mechanisms to enforce these.

My suggestion, leave these modern symbols for the symbol minded.

Where is the limit? Area weapons. If you own or build something which can affect a large area, i.e. a large explosive device, chemical weapon, then there should be rules. But shy of that, I don’t care if your closet looks like Charlton Heston’s gun room: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attachments/world-firearms/135443d1283070924-charlton-heston-person-gun-vault-charleton-hestons-basement4.jpg?s=3fae7ae8d4a1eed26f809aa855ffdf02 (FYI, just please send me a private email and give me a tour if you do have a gun room like that!!!)

Like it or not, the AR platform is problematic. In the hands of a competently trained person, it can rain havoc in short order. The only saving grace in most of these mass shootings is the kook doing the shooting is generally mentally/emotionally compromised in addition to inexperienced.

Liberals don’t like AR-15’s because they are black and don’t vote.

When people ask me what caliber my AR is, my reply, “It’s just a .22.”

No real difference between it and this one made in 1906. That is 116 years ago.
