A lot of people will buy this just because it's cool, and they want to appear like soldiers. If you're a gun collector or a gun aficionado and you want an AR-15, you can certainly buy one, and you should be able to buy one. The problem is when it gets in the hands of the wrong people.
In my personal opinion, you have to receive a whole lot of training to use this weapon. And this weapon in the wrong hands can be more dangerous than most weapons because of its capability to do a lot of damage in a short period of time and be irreversible.

He sounds like fag,Jim.
This woman is not scared of weapons. Merely of the nutcases who misuse them. (And, were she still alive, my cat would not be scared, either.)
Could be talking about the 1st Amendment.
Experience in Army combat arms as an Air Force officer?
What a load of crap ... well, CNN, which is the same thing.
Haha! We did test fire a .223 in a steel building once just to see what the suppressor did for noise reduction. That was hilarious. The echo and shock wave from the supersonic round over 300 feet to the backstop was excruciating. I had my ear phones on but the guys I was with thought the suppressor would do something. It didn’t.
You need to up gun to a Garand or an M1A. FN FAL etc.
Yeah, using sub-sonic .223 would be kinda pointless. LOL!
exactly..that piece was designed to scare suburban white women with kids in school.....
This is CNN.
You mean, like, a Ruger Mini-14?
Legitimate Possibility - Forward Air Controller.
That being said, the guy sounds quite ignorant.
“1/2 day of disassembly and assembly, and 1/2 day of shooting on the range”
That is all they gave us in Army ROTC.
If a .223 bruised the wimpy authors shoulder, what would your Garand with a 30-06 do to he/she/it/”whatever gender it associates with”. Taught my children to shoot with one and a .45 handgun.
Yeah,a 30-06 isn’t the right round to use if you just want to bruise someone.
Yes, if the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 is passed, your Garand would be banned.

That’s exactly what I mean. It’s a lot less scary and dangerous than those black rifles.
***My dad had arthritis ***
Same here. Pistol grips are great for arthritic hands, and being on blood thinners means I can not shoot my heavy rifles any more. They now bruise me bad, and the bruises stay and travel from my shoulder down my arm.
Some guy in NYC walked out of his apartment with a Garand, fired ONE SHOT and killed a man. The NYTimes went ballistic calling for a ban on semi-auto rifles because of that one shot.
They teach them to shoot 25 rounds, and then run to the nearest airplane that isn’t on fire.
If those guys are every using their firearms, we have bigger problems.
