Hey, if you have to face down a robbery crew or fight off a gang of terrorists it sure helps to have a big, scary-looking black gun, like an AR-15. When seconds count the police are minutes away, or even longer in a lot of cities these days. The anti-gun politicians once again are capitalizing on a lot of people’s tendency to confuse the semi-automatic civilian AR-15 rifle with it’s look alike the M-16, a select-fire, full automatic military rifle (The M4 carbine too, a short version of the M-16). The AR-15 IS NOT a military assault rifle like the M-16. The military does not use the AR-15. The AR-15 was specifically created for civilian use. Technically there is no mechanical difference between rifles like the AR-15, or the SIG-Sauer MCX, and other semi-automatic rifles with a detachable box magazine that don’t superficially resemble the M-16. So you can’t really outlaw the AR-15 without outlawing every other semi-automatic rifle in civilian hands (which is what Australia did and what Hillary and Obama want to do in America as well). Furthermore “AR-15” is a brand name owned exclusively by Colt, so all the AR-15 look-alike semi-automatic rifles made by dozens of other companies are not truly AR-15’s anymore than all facial tissues can legally be labelled “Kleenex”. More and more American hunters are choosing to use the AR-15 style platform, not because it can use a 30 round magazine, but because it is as accurate as a bolt action and because its buffer system gives it a more mild recoil than comparable rifles. It is very pleasant to shoot and this combined with the superb intrinsic accuracy makes it easier to hit what you are shooting at. It is extremely popular with targets shooters in all sorts of competitions for the same reasons. But like they say, the Second Amendment is not about duck hunting, it is about the right of the people to keep and bear arms in their own defense and the defense of the republic. NO new gun laws! Enforce the laws that are already on the books. We need criminal control, not gun control.

Why ban the gun that so effectively stops terrorism?
