Like all those that voted for Hillary, and the way she and the DNC kept our democratic government stable and honest. Ask Bernie Sanders his opinion about that.

Parroting the NRA line of propaganda once again.

Lol, Again, if the mythical tyrannical abusive government decides to oppress you as a citizen. Please feel free to stand up to it's war machine with your AR15. Good luck with that.

And yet was invented a full 73 years before the 2nd amendment was ratified. The type of technology that the gun control types seem to swear only came in much more modern days, and so that the founders could have no idea that such things existed.

Another example of gun control types simply not knowing about firearms. It's a willfull ignorance.

Exactly, and we didn't have law enforcement back then ...!!

It wasn't designed as a military weapon.

AR = armalite. Its a civilian developed gun. Armalite is The company that made it.



After it was made the military looked at it and said hey this new gun is pretty cool. Its lighter and shoots a less powerful bullet than the M-14 rifle that was currently in service. The air force and army "militarized" the ar-15 and made it into the m-16 and m-4.

You could show a non gun person a mini14 and they would say sure no problem. But show them an ar15 and it's a baby killing death Ray. Both guns have same capabilities and bullets

What gun are you even talking about? The first fully automatic weapon was created by Hiram Maxim in 1885...but weapons like this weren't used outside of the military until the "tommy gun" during Prohibition...so...the '30's? And that would be the 1930's not 1730's.
