More AR-15s in private hands in thirty years than 30-30 Winchesters in 110 years.
And to think, back 40 years ago no one wanted an AR-15s (except me). They wanted hard shooting deer rifles.
Then Jimmy Carter got elected and Americans knew they were on their own when it came to defense.
That’s because (IMHO) AR-15’s suck.
I’ll put my Saiga (that I lost in an unfortunate boating accident) up against it any day.
