National Gun of the U.S.

I stopped reading the article at the MAGA point. I didn't feel like being further irritated.

I wondered if anyone would read the linked article. Leftist drivel.

I concur with the opinion that this is nothing more than GOP virtue signaling.

Mmmm. Let me propose another possibility behind this:

Suppose the sponsor of this acknowledges the fact that the MSR (AR15) is the most popular rifle/firearm in use TODAY (sure, there have been several other firearms that have earned their place in history, but not necessarily in popular use today - at least not at the AR15 level). Let's continue to suppose that this sponsor is well aware of the attacks against and proposals to ban the MSR so by having it officially recognized as the "National Gun of the United States", it may be a way to prevent citizens from being prohibited from owning/possessing MSR's.

Just a consideration for what may be behind this effort.
