Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
National Gun of the U.S.
https://truthout.org/articles/republ...-national-gun/
A House Republican has introduced a bill that would make the AR-15... the "National Gun of the United States" ...
The AR? I don't agree with that.
If there is any gun that represents the U.S., it is the 1911.

Considering there's probably more AR's than 1911, in use. OR the safe. It makes sense.

I think any effort put into this is a waste of tax dollars and is just more unnecessary culture-war drama.
Having said that, I would nominate either the Winchester Model 1894 or 1911. Both come from a time of hands-on craftsmanship and predate plastic molded parts.
Yes. Let?s propose virtue signaling laws now that republicans can?t pass jack. Golf clap.
I concur with the opinion that this is nothing more than GOP virtue signaling.

I agree it is political posturing but it is less virtue signaling and more of an attempt to get under the skin of leftists.
I also agree it is a waste of time and energy that could be better devoted to real issues.
One of the co-sponsors is Lauren Boebert. She barely won her seat in '22. This nonsense will do nothing but incite the opposition in '24.
I was hoping to generate a discussion on the most iconic firearm in American history, not another political debate.There have been way too many of them lately.
Let's have fun and talk about guns.

One of the most famous handguns of all time is the Colt Single Action Army revolver.
Also known as the Peacemaker, Frontier Six-Shooter and the M1873, the Single Action Army is also a staple of Hollywood films, appearing in virtually every cowboy and western film ever made.
The revolver was was used by soldiers and civilians alike, and is still in production more than 140 years after it entered U.S. Army service.
It was said by a former train robber that a Colt forty-five makes all men equal
