The AR platform has been around for 50 some years, and now all of a sudden because some left wing liberal democrats want to call it an assault weapon means there's something wrong with them is complete nonsense. After the 1st WW all the returning GIs used bolt actions because that's what they were used to. After the 2nd WW everyone wanted a M1, because that's what they were use to. After Naum the men started turning to ARs because that's what they were used to. Many home defense instructors like the AR because it's short, easy to handle, and no recoil. They recommend them to be kept in the bedroom where even a woman can handle one with ease. And if there's three or four intruders a 30 round magazine will take care of them. When did the subject change to machine guns or hand grenades ? And I never said anything about what is in your first paragraph, it's just your weak attempt to reinforce your anti gun attitude. What about swords, knives, or trucks ? They all have been used recently for assaults - you want to ban them also ? What it boils down to is you don't like guns with large magazines. If a Republican doesn't like something, he doesn't buy it. If a Democrat doesn't like something, he wants to outlaw it so no one can buy it. Guess that's the difference between us.
