Probably because those seem to be the 'target' of those who would infringe upon the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

It is my firm belief that if the gun manufacturers would start making them in various shades of green, i.e., spring green, forest green, leaf green, moss green, grass green, etc., these guns would be far more readily accepted... even by folks like Hillary; heck, even by folks like Al Gore and his ilk who embrace and propound all things 'green'.... doncha think?

As a people we want what we can't have either by perception or reality. If the talk is to ban black guns then lets run out and buy two because we can today but maybe not in the future. It applies to ammo shortages as well, 22LR is hard to find so buy it wherever and as often as you can even if you don't use it, same with 45ACP, 9mm pick a caliber. Reloading brass is hard to find and I'm always ;looking for something, right now it's 500 N.E. 3" cases but it's always going to be something.

By nature we are hoarders. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

For the same reason people buy another Parker - because you can. They're fun to shoot. Because anything the liberals hate. And most of all, they're not assault rifles but modern sporting arms. Assault is something someone does be it with fist, clubs, knives, or a gun. It's about personal responsibility, something that doesn't get mentioned.

I have yet to fall into the AR pit !

Although I have been contemplating a Stag Model 7 in 6.8 SPC for a few years . An AR-10 with two uppers one in 260 or 7-08 and a 338 Federal would also be nice .

But those rifles would be more for play and or enjoyment if I was ever to pull the trigger and actually buy .

For home defense I have the same two M1 Carbines that have been in the family for 50 plus years and a couple thousand rounds of factory ammo I've been picking up here and there when Jerry's or some other distributer had a good deal going

I've been more intrested in adding to my powder primer and shot collection . Projectiles for my rifles are pretty flush at the moment . Plenty jacketed stuff for my long range rifles and plenty lead and molds for my cast bullet shooters .
