Liberals embracing firearm ownership...

[Savage Jav]

It's still comparable to .223 and has a much more satisfying thump

But, there are MANY 5.56 AK/not-AR offerings that are cooler too... Galil SAR/AR/ARM/Micro/Ace, Beryl, SAM5, WBP, Zastava, 805 Bren, Bren 2, CETME L, HK93, Carmel, Tavor SAR, Tavor X95, AUG, yadda yadda.

Kinda defeats the purpose. If you go .223/556 might as well go with the AR platform. Only reason I see in going piston system is when you get under 10in in 556

The AR platform is like an unflavored sno-cone or freezer burnt vanilla ice cream

Not every firearm has to have a purpose other than collectability and cool-factor. 98% of my stuff has almost zero "tactical" utility but it's way more satisfying (and a much better investment) than a safe full of ARs.

As for AK vs AR, I'll leave both at home at take my Degtyarev Pekhotny Modernizirovanny in 7.62x54r, the greatest cartridge on earth

Speaking of embracing...

December, 11, 2023
PORTLAND – Gov. Tina Kotek and members of her Portland Central City Task Force say the city needs more police officers on the ground, tax breaks for businesses and a ban on public drug use.

Same thing happening in Seattle, and quietly in Olympia. The pendulum is swinging back.

Id argue you want your fighting gun to be boringly reliable.
Nothing wrong with a owning alot of guns Id just prefer to train, in that regards ammo price and functionality matters. Not saying I dont own "cool guns" but its never been the primary focus.
