Why you should own an AR

[Grant H.]

Cause I wanna...

Duh...

[Great-Kazoo]

It's a sporting rifle?

I'm offended by the title's use of a singular article.

For what it’s worth... I’ve been trying to convince a friend of mine for over a year to buy/build one. This morning I sent him the link and now he says “well maybe I should then”. So... thank you for sharing.

Real meat behind reason #1 doesn't come until the end of it:

On the other hand, common criminals are not the only threat, nor even the primary threat, because of which the Second Amendment prohibits government from infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

arms were deemed to protect against every species of criminal usurpation, including ‘political crime,’ a phrase the Founders would have understood in its most literal sense.

tyrannous officials and judges or pillaging soldiery was a mere detail; the criminality of [what Thomas Paine termed] the ‘invader and plunderer’ lay in his violation of natural law and rights, regardless of the guise in which he violated them.

I'm sure the Jim Crow sheriffs and police officers that liberals often like to allude to were all in favor of strict gun control -- at least for some people. The American businessmen that overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy were certainly in favor of gun control.

Reason 10 stands out: 10. The more Americans who own AR-15s, the more likely the Supreme Court will consider them “in common use.”

Well,
I am sure glad that I have never gotten another one of those evil black rifles since the floods of 2013 washed my safe away never to be seen again. Do you know that they will just jump on their own and shoot dozens if not hundreds of people without reason or warning ?

Pelosi and Schumer will have a tremendously adverse effect on anything we care about, that's for sure.

Just bought another one on Friday (Thanks esizer ). Might even buy another one after the first of the year too!

This pretty much sums it up for me (and why don't images imbed for me? Maybe I missed a post about it.).

Not a bad introductory article, and gives good talking points that will be useful in the inevitable fight against banning ARs.

That comment section though...yow. It's worth reading just to see how the other side thinks.
