As a female who may have an AR 15, does this make me transgendered??

No, of course not. But I do suggest you look into the diminutive AR-10 to see if it's to your liking.

Standard American Pravda gun grabber propaganda.

You are twice as likely to be killed by hands and feet as you are by ANY long gun.

You are five times as likely to be stabbed to death as you are to be killed by ANY long gun.

And AR-15s are a subset of long guns. That shows just how rarely they are used to commit crimes. Its not like there are few of them around either. They are THE most popular rifle in America with over 20 million sold.

AR-10. Ask for it by name. Tell them BB sent you.

It’s a blast! ARs are modular. No real gunsmithing needed. There are millions of youtube how-to videos and various forums on the web.

I have been on a grand jury in recent months. Over our tenure we would see multiple firearm charges every day we were in session. And MOST of those were repeat offenders.

During that entire time, the phrase “AR15” has not been uttered.

It’s hard to believe these firearms are tearing our inner cities to pieces.

Conspiracy theories (take your pick);
1. The evil
Commie- nazi leftists really think they can steal your firearms from you
Or
2. The evil
Commie-nazi leftists secretly bought a ton of stock in firearms manufacturers —- and are shooting (pun) off their big mouths threatening to break into your home and rob you ——-to scare up sales and thereby huge profits.

If this ninny thinks mocking the manhood of gun owners will shame them into behavior she approves of shes dimmer than the average journalist. And that’s saying something.

I appreciate you mentioning all this. It would be quite
helpful if I was so inclined, but for some reason it just
doesn’t appeal to me at this time.

I’m sure you’re have a great time doing it, and who knows,
some day I might get the itch.

Take care.

You're still talking about the rifle, yes? I'm starting to get some insecurity issues here.

What if you have more than one AR15? Do you sprout additional DNA Dispensers? That would be more than a bit weird ...

What a bunch of B.S.

If you want to show your ‘manhood’ by purchase of a gun, you buy a 338 Lapua rifle or higher, and /or a .460 or .500 S&W, not a pipsqueak AR-15.
