The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post 4073 in Marshall, Michigan was the site of a class to teach people to build AR-15 rifles. The class had been scheduled for months. This was the third year the popular class was held at the post. Chris Walden of Walden's Firearms taught the class to about 60 participants. This year was a little different a professor from Albion College, W. Jeffrey Wilson organized a protest of their peaceful, voluntary activity.
No one at the VFW post or Chris buckled under to the bullying of the protesters. The protest drew national attention. The protesters numbered about 30, half as many as the people who were learning to build AR-15 rifles. From counton2.com:
Chris Walden teaches the class and sells the parts used. He pointed out that all of the guns have serial numbers, are registered and are sold only to those who legally can own them.
Walden said there was never any talk of delaying the class after the massacre in Florida last month that left 17 dead. The shooter used an AR-15.
There's always significant things going on and if we tried to weave that between whatever tragedy and anything else, I'm not sure we'd ever find a good time, Walden said. Now's as good a time as any.
Protesters who came out Tuesday say the very idea of creating more of these guns is a terrible idea.

“And students it is good form to begin emails to professors with Dear Dr. Wilson or simple Dr. Wilson unless you are on a first-name basis with the prof. I will trash any emails that come to me and begin in a disrespectful manner (e.g., Hey Wilson or Yo or Wassup?)”
And “I will trash...” is good form?
But they were thinking about it.
The time for just thinking about it is about over.
L
I only see five.
Keep looking, you’ll find it.
Crossbows! Slingshots!!
Bottom of the pistol grip?
Did the protestors drive dangerous cars to the protest and create CO2 in the process?
Soooo not guilty lol!!
Dang; I missed that one.
I need to get out more!
One can understand the professor’s ire knowing that these are the guns of choice for most criminals...
Sheesh, no cup holder.
Cup holder? Don’ need no stinkin’ cup holder.
Do you just get your buddy to “hold muh beer”?
Just because I like this idea. Shovel AK:
Have to. That brute weighs some.
Years ago, when rail systems were first becoming popular, ArmaLite introduced a line of AR15 accessories (free float handguards, etc.) under their “ALOSTYR” label. I always thought it was some hi-tech acronym. Turns out, it meant “Add Lots Of Stuff To Your Rifle.” It might have been Mr. Westrom’s way of poking fun at 9 or 10 pound AR15s...
