Because two is one and one is none. But there is always six which is never very close to none.

There was a time back in the 1970s when no one wanted an AR-15. Gun magazine writers said they were “Ugly, Plastic! Mattel Toy! inaccurate! illegal for deer!”
Mel Tappan then wrote his book on SURVIVAL GUNS and extolling the virtues of such firearms. His articles in Guns and Ammo magazine about ownership of such firearms suddenly stirred an interest in them.
Suddenly everyone wanted one! Foreign companies filled in the slack with the AR-180, AK-47-s, Daewoo, UZI rifle and many other semi auto military style rifles.
The Democrats took notice and after years of saying “Rifles will not be affected!” as they “ONLY wanted to register and ban HANDGUNS.” THEY MADE A GRAB FOR THE RIFLES.
Bush Sr. banned all foreign made semi-auto rifles from import.
Wish I had back all those that I traded off back then.

Wonder how many remember Miss America 1962 having fun shooting an AR-15!
If SHE can shoot one so can WE!

I know I should own an AR 15 but I had a terrible accident. I was canoeing on the Tennessee River enroute to the local BATF office and the canoe flipped over. I lost all my guns and now I have a “no firearms” sign in my yard.

I saw your sign last week, realized the error of my ways, and traded all of my evil firearms for antique single-shot 14 gauge shotguns that don't work. What a relief knowing that, even if my guns break out of the safe in the middle of the night, they can't hurt any children or baby seals!

Yep, when shooting from the prone position those flash hiders will blow sand/dirt all over you. The A2 flash hider does not direct blast downward.

AR-15. Mouse gun, but there are a lot of mice around the farm.
