MASSIVE? Uh, it wasn’t a bazooka or RPG. A lot of places folks can’t hunt with a 223. As far as the “suppressor”, not much point without subsonic ammo and mods to ensure the gun will function using it. GRRRRRRR! I really don’t like these liars.
An ar-15 isn’t a massive rifle. But since the media has become so feminized, I now understand why they frame things the way they do.
