President Joe Biden targeted makers of AR-15s and other firearms Democrats label “assault weapons,” calling on Sunday for the ability to file lawsuits against such manufacturers.

Biden used social media to broadcast his view:

Gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons that make them some of the biggest profits.

It’s time we ended gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability – we’ve got to hold them accountable.

Buy more weapons and ammo, folks.

As my 16 year old son ask on Quora: ‘What is an AR-15?’ Some imbecile said it is an Assault Rifle that shot 15 people dead in 15 seconds. Son replied, wrong, an AR-15 is a gun manufactured by ArmaLite Rifle, hence the AR and 15 is tho model number after 15 improvements. He then posted if this teen knows it, why can’t Marxists.. I am proud of our kids...

The puke is rotten to the core...always has been.

Biden is not so much stupid as he is evil and corrupt. The diapered pos in the white hovel has been an admirer of Hitlers and Stalins tactics and philosophy ever since I first heard of him in the 90’s and probably long before that.

I know, it seems so unlikely... I guess I’m just an old cynic.

Colt’s AR-15 patent protections expired in 1977. In 1982, Olympic Arms started making the rifle. Olympic pioneered a lot of the things that make the AR design so popular.

From Wikipedia:

Olympic was the first to introduce features now seen as commonplace on AR-15 rifles. It was one of the first companies to produce free floating aluminum hand guards, pistol caliber conversions, and AR-15-based pistols. Olympic manufactured many AR-15s in calibers other than the standard 5.56×45mm. Olympic was the first in the industry to offer AR-15-style firearms in 9×19mm and .45 ACP, 10mm Auto, 7.62×39mm, and the Winchester Super Short Magnum cartridges.

In February 2013, Olympic Arms announced that the company would no longer sell its products to New York law enforcement officers or agencies, following the state's passage of an assault weapons ban.[6][verification needed] “After more than 40 years of business, it is with great sorrow that we announce that February 28th, 2017 will be the last day of operation for Olympic Arms, Inc,” noted the company on social media, January 26, 2017. Despite that announcement, they continued to sell parts and fill orders in a limited capacity until 2020, when they finally ceased all operations.

When first introduced to the M-16 in the mid sixties, the firearms instructor made sure to convince us that we were looking at a weapon, and not a Mattel toy. I have often wondered how the image got changed to “A scary assault rifle”.

I think that shooting M16s at miliary funerals looks kinda silly. They should go back to firing M-1s

Last I checked, gun manufacturers are protected from civil suits by duly passed law.

[Organic Panic]

I have never seen an advertisement for any AR platform without looking for one. Are they in magazines next to the endless Pfizer ads?

[glimmerman70]

Sure. Blame the gun and not the person pulling the trigger. Blame the person that builds the knife and not the person that stabs someone.

Spoon manufactures can be sued for people being fat.

Joe Biden isn’t a person, it’s the name of a political movement.

How many times does SCOTUS have to knock that down. 🙄

SOOOOOOo—JOE-—What kind of gun did Hunter fill out false paperwork ON???

[GingisK]

I like it for its mechanical and shooting characteristics. I don’t recall liberal gum-flapping influencing my decision.
