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 โ€œno firearmsโ€ sign in my yard.

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

I opted for a Ruger Mini 14 with furniture since it is less scary at cocktail parties. ๐Ÿ˜

For anyone who owns an AR15, I highly recommend a 6.5 Grendel upper for it. They are fairly inexpensive, easy to swap, as it only takes a minute or so to do it, and they add a whole new level of accuracy (especially at long distance) and they make a perfect deer round since the 123 grain bullets pack a lot more wallop than any .223 can deliver. It’s almost as good as owning two rifle for a small fraction of the cost. Who would have guessed that you could add 1 MOA accuracy at 500 yards or more to an AR for a couple hundred bucks?

Good article, but Eugene Stoner got it right the first time with the AR-10.

When the need arises for Americaโ€™s Rifle, you are really going to wish yours was shooting .30 cal (7.62 x 51 mm) rounds, not .223 cal (5.56 x 45 mm) rounds.

Not really America’s Rifle. We are the United States of America. There are 3 America’s. North, Central, and South America. USAR would be proper! lol
