Why 5 million Americans own an AR15

[boogerhook]

Excellent article on AR ownership and why people should focus on the "who" is allowed to get a gun rather than "what" kind of gun they can have.

Why millions of Americans — including me — own the AR-15 (http://www.vox.com/2016/6/20/11975850/ar-15-owner-orlando)

The more the powers that be say I shouldn't have something, the more I want it...

All they do is spurn more and more sales. Gun grabbing liberals have driven the firearms industry to incredible peacetime numbers... Good work guys...

That was well thought out and written! I'm even going to ask the wife to read it.
Thanks booger!

I'm gonna have the wife read it tonight! Should earn the " I knew it" and "See, Told ya" from her!

Because they can...

I thought it was because it was a full auto machine gun?!?!

Thats what I keep hearing anyways....

 

[Caveman Jim]

I own one because when the SHTF I'm gonna have a capable FA to defend my rights!!!

In honor of the Anti-black rifle movement going on I ordered all the parts to build a new AR10.

That's for motivating me to get that purchased.

That article lacked the one thing that my far left lib-tards cannot get past... No Emotion, completely full of facts and logic. That will never work......

 

[Flopsweat]

That was a remarkable article. It says what I've been saying all along, but, uh, more politely...

I like them and I have rights that shall not be infringed. What else do I need?

Great article, thanks for the share, @boogerhook.
I'm surprised at 5 Million - the number is too small..

I pointed out to a liberal friend the other day when he complained about how vehement pro-gunners are: those who want the ban are doing so out of a sense of morality, social conscience or just plain disgust. Pro 2nd Amendment / Pro-gunners are ideological. If you can't get your head around it, you'll never understand it. The way I explained it was that it was like one of your kids when it comes to their life and safety: you feel completely protective, intensely black and white and justified in your conviction without any question. I think he began to understand.

I'm sure that number dosn't count all the home builds! I'm guessing add another 1.5 mil!

And then his anus sucked his head back up I'm sure.

And then his anus sucked his head back up I'm sure.

Nope, he's open minded. People get testy when I drop diplomacy and tell them, "you're stupid if you thing banning AR15s will make you safer or solve the problem." Perhaps I should start with, "you're delusional...." instead.

Good article. Thanks for the post!

Wait that's on Vox? The same Vox that is so blatantly anti gun? And don't get me wrong, Vox makes some beautifully produced and informative videos. They are SUPER left wing though in their views... which is fine unless you're watching a YT vid of theirs with political undertones (or overtones).

Good for you, Vox.

fyi for those who haven't seen some of their vids, a lot of them are just beautiful and very educational. ie:
