The AR is an extremely light rifle; less than five pounds. This, along with it having virtually no recoil (kick), makes it very easy for a woman or any low-strength person to handle.

I think the AR is a very attractive, well designed gun. I have two so they can keep each other company. Hopefully they reproduce for you. Maybe put them in a room together, dim the lights, play some romantic music...

Twenty years ago, 37 mm launchers were pretty widely available. Brass shells, and flechettes sold by the pound completed the package.

Isn’t the Aircraft Carrier attachment enough?

I have 2 Class III AR-15s, and they enjoy each other’s company, too.

Light weight, easy to use, highly lethal, readily available and affordable.
Reasons why not only are they popular with citizens from all walks of life but why leftist authoritarians don't want us to own one.
Democrats and other leftists ultimately want to outlaw all weapons they see as potential threats to them and their power.
But the ubiquitous easy to use, highly lethal, affordable AR-15 is at the top of their list.

An AIRCRAFT CARRIER on the top rail! You wouldn’t expect them to launch and recover jets if it were mounted on the side or bottom would you?

The better question, why the AK?

I wish mine would weigh 5lbs. Mine feels like I have a Rino hanging from my neck and I don’t mean Romney.

How hard is it to mount an Antigravity Module? What are they, like, $40.99 from Cabelas?

I wish y’all would stop with the gun porn. I’m nearly blind now.

Years ago, the public schools in many towns in Connecticut staged a coordinated field trip to the state Capitol building. At one point an emergency was declared and all the kids and everybody else were ordered to leave. It seems a teacher had spotted a “sniper” with a “machine gun” mounted on a tripod.
Turns out it was a broadcast cameraman with a telephoto lens mounted on a stand. There is no limit to the extent of ignorance.

I’m also a senior female who doesn’t have a lot of hand strength, so I have trouble racking our two 9mm handguns. I recently bought a Sig Sauer p365. It’s a great gun but again racking is difficult. This is because the little button you have to push up with your thumb while holding the gun correctly with the right hand and racking with the left is very stiff. I have given thought to buying a short shotgun.
