Autonomous Rifle. Because everyone knows it is “gun violence.”

AR-15’s are bad; yet AR-10’s are good to go! LOL

"... The factory, owned by the Department of Defense, has allowed private contractors over the years to operate the plant ...."

"Allowed" my ass. They depend on private contractors because they do a better job for less money than a factory full of civil servants.

And as I noted when this story first broke, Winchester's bid for this contract was based on them being to offset the low profit margin for the government work by selling whatever surplus they might manufacture on the civilian market. If the government cuts that off, Winchester can't afford to make the ammunition the government needs at the price agreed upon.

Yeah, but it ain't as lethal as the 9mm LB (Lung-Blaster) round.

Keeping the production going for civilians with America’s favorite modern sporting rifle is also necessary for defense readiness. Production is continuously more ready for both war production for our military forces and continuing training and equipment for millions of law-abiding potential defenders of the U.S.A. for the possible future event of foreign enemy invasion.

Don’t fear your neighbors without reason. Many of them have been armed (concealed) for years in public without causing any fuss.

I wonder who told Biden such stupid crap? He couldn’t have just pulled that out of his butt on the moment like that. He had to have heard some idiot make that rekark to repeat it.
