Misinformation going Around About the AR

[SuperiorDG]

So with all that is going on now and all the polls out there about how a lot of Americans are against us owning the AR platform I was wondering how much of this anti opinion is based on fact. I hear on the radio last night a guy say that ARs are full auto and we don't need a gun in civilian hands that can shoot 120 rounds in a minute. I have also heard it said that ARs are easy to convert to full auto. "You just have to drill a hole and poof, full auto." They don't mention the Class 3 parts you need.

If Americans were informed about the facts, I wonder how those polls would change. Are they voting based on misinformation? What can we do to correct this? What have you heard lately that is wrong and needs correction?

Almost everything in the media about the AR platform is incorrect and intentionally so. Best weapon gun grabbers have is misinformation and fear. The average apathetic American voter swallows it whole.

120 rounds a minute? that seems pretty slow for full auto.

where do i drill?

Yep, keep pushing the FA need to be licensed bit. Maybe their ignornace will be their downfall. Heck, I don't care too much if they want to ban or license clips over 10 rounds either...seeing as I have never seen one. That said, the vast majority of gun owners don't understand the "sporting purpose" drivel nor the actual intent of the 2nd Ammendment.

I think I could do that, just have to factor in 12 mag swaps.

"Your guns aren't registered?!"
That's one of my favorites.

I've had people (old friends on the Facebooks) try to explain why no one NEEDS a "Bushmaster Automatic Weapon".

Media is a powerful thing.

Twelve mag swaps ? Are you from Kommiefornia ? 120 rounds, 4 mag swaps in one minute. Easy, not accrue round placement but still easy.

If you aren't worried about legality, it really is that simple. No drilling required even.

New media interviewed a guy wo said....

"no one needs an assault rifle to hunt. You cant shoot a deer with one because it is so powerful you couldnt use the meat!"

I even had a person say the same thing to me. I had to teach them the differences between a .308, .223, and other hunting rounds.. Even then....its amazing. These people consider themselves hunters as well.:(

same mis-information, or "lack of being informed" that got the pres. re-elected. Nothing new.

I think you're on the right track. Every few days I have to re-explain everything to my mother-in-law because as soon as she starts listening to the media she goes back to parroting all the false information again.

ARs are full auto
No one hunts anything with an AR
No shooting sports use ARs
Most murders are with ARs
etc...

That's it. Pick on the AR's and leave my Fal alone.[Flower] Just wait till one of them starts going on about all that "Armor Piercing" ammo you can buy.. [pick-me] Oh well, we have been through this before. By next week the AR will be able to shoot through 5 buildings while killing an entire heard of wild buffalo. [Bang]

Haha, ignorance is bliss..

Media controls information. Very scary mechanism at work

20 years ago they were all going after the AK variants, now it's the AR variants, M1A may be next. They won't stop until all we can have are single shot break actions.
