Funny, the left have become the poster children for conspiracy theories. Russia Russia Russia, Trump will kill us all, the markets will crash, there will be mayhem and mobs rioting in the streets... well, they got the last one right -- except it was them doing the rioting.

Alcohol is highly regulated in that area. What makes you think it would be different with drugs?

Drug dealers can make a lot of money selling, they're not going to all of a sudden give that up because drugs are legal. They might have to be more competitive in their pricing, but they're not going to give it up to be a Walmart greeter making minimum wage.

Personally I like a little larger caliber.

But plenty of guys do. I don't think I would choose one because it's too weak and limited in range for big game here out West.
I agree, so if there is no real need for an AR-15 for hunting why should we keep selling them, because they look cool or what?

fact..there are over 100 million ar15s LEGALLY out there....and many ILLEGAL too (brought in across the open borders that liberals keep pushing)

to ban the OWNERSHIP of such weapons would REQUIRE confiscation


to deny that, is to deny facts

More people are killed by dictators in countries with no guns allowed than any thing that has been seen in the USA since 9-11 which was not powered by guns. Remember, they used airplanes. Are we going to get rid of all airplanes?

This is a free country and if you want to act like mad people who have no sense whatsoever; have at it but don't expect me to agree with you.

Because it is American Made, a darn fine rifle, relatively inexpensive (compare the -10 in cost, for example), just another bag of equipment until needed, easy for accessories, easy to shoot, and probably many more reasons.

I hate killing animals but I do know quite a few hunters. They sit in trees with their camouflage outfits. None of them use guns, they use bows and arrows. They said guns were too easy.
