No weapon has been more in the public eye in America of late than the AR-15, in large part because of its tragic role in some of this country’s deadliest shootings.
The AR-15 has the dubious distinction of being America’s most popular semi-automatic rifle. I’m more familiar with the gun than most people: I own one. And one thing I know for sure is that this weapon doesn’t belong in the hands of the average civilian.

I have one like this. SP1, no forward assist or later-added cartridge deflector. Also the same scope. Got it very cheap 25 years ago, but not for those prices. And, I certainly don’t have it up for sale for that price. :0).
"AR-15s for me, but not for thee!"

Well the average citizen ,that works hard and believes in freedom
should own one. I know many people that own them, shoot them regularly and know how to handle them. I am glad they have them and are on the ready. I feel every Patriot should have one, especially now in these dark times.
My answer would be: NOYFB.
I want one because my bucket list contains feral hog hunting out west.
Biden has already filled to US with criminals. A criminal is one who breaks the law. Entering the US without proper permission is a crime so the 30 million or so illegal border jumpers (also known as wetbacks) are criminals.
Yet another reason to not back the blue.
Feral hog hunting? Come to SE Oklahoma. We are at war with feral hogs.
That's what I hear. There's some great Youtube videos of hog shooting out there.
“Why would I want to have one? I cannot afford a fully equipped aircraft carrier, so there’s that.”
I want one because I donated my fully armed Ohio Class submarine to Taiwan.

“…he would press people on why they think they need it.…”
Uh, to defend myself?
“Need”? I WANT one in CASE I might need it. I’d rather have a gun and not need it then need a gun and not have one
Arrogant scumbag government employees like this one are the reason tens of millions of civilians need to have AR pattern rifles.
BLOAT

I’m a shotgun guy, I like trap and skeet and I like sporting clays. The boys take me pig hunting (eradication) down in South Carolina and there’s always an AR-15 around that I can use and they’re very effective on a pig hunt.
My military training and Force Battalion collateral duties taught me the only use for a pistol is to shoot your way to your shotgun. A rifleman might disagree but Force Battalion wasn’t about being a rifleman it was about being tactical and urban. Those days are long gone and I’m sure the methodology has changed but that was the focus when I was in attendance.
There are certain aspects of a military grade rifle that I would employ when hunting. Durability over a sporting piece, and the associated rigors of rough passage in the bush.... maybe for a younger crowd but I’m far past that youthfulness and vigor and restricted to peep sights. Pistols and targets are only a blur with or without glasses... a shotgun is a better consideration. Rifles du jour don’t impress me much, neither do cordless tools. I’ve aged into a more nuts and bolts approach to just about everything.
Cops, not just the dumbest among us, the most cowardly too!
