He's setup and on his way. This was his first stop in Texas.

AR has never ever been a Mil-Spec rifle. No US military battalions have ever been supplied AR's.

We are the peoples military. The right to Militia, is among the most fundamental Natural Rights, which is not derived from, or dependent on, the U.S. Constitution, which may not be submitted to a vote and may not depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the most sacred and valuable Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property...and is regarded as inalienable.

Even the manufactures call the SK an AK and then the public makes the same mistake.

I'm amazed at the politicians and even so called gun experts not understanding these basic things.

The AK-47 is the go to weapon right now, by our own US and private contractors in the Middle East.
Ask anyone in that theater. M1A, or AK-47. They will reach for the AK every time. The AK is select fire.
The clones sold here in gun stores, are the semi-auto variation.

Because reliable.

They are simply awesome at maintenance free, reliable operation. Harsh environments don't bother piston systems nearly as much as direct impingement setups, and if you're in forward area or simply extended beyond where access to maintenance facilities/materials is possible, reliable is serious win.

Very few weapon designs have ever been as reliable as the (A/S)K-47. Seriously, every person interested in a proper "1 rifle for a desert island" pure survival, all in one, see you through the end of the world back platform...you'll have a tough time beating the (A/S)K-47. I don't own one, opting for a slightly larger cartridge/bullet platform in my piston driven semiauto, but there's no downside to a proper AK or SK variant.

I'm partial to the PSL ROMAKS and the RPK receiver too.

If there is a military that uses a nonselect fire rifle like the -15, then they are treating their troops worse than the US does.

Should not the public have the same as LE? I mean, is not LE civilian like the public? Do they not live in the same lands? Does not the public face the same enemy as LE? Then why does LE get what the public cannot have?

Carnage? I know what happens when a country disarms its public. That's carnage. That kind of carnage will make the current situation seem like a picnic.
So yes, I do care, for I know from history what will happen if one trusts, one allows the government to have all the guns.
Now, one thing I might suggest is re-engineering the trigger, mechanically, so it is one pull of the trigger, one shot positively. That people are not able to bypass the trigger reset.
Mechanically so there is no way it is dependent on a central system somewhere which could be used to disarm the public, as it might be in a smart gun.
Of course, start working with the trigger and there will be those who say that it should not be able to be pulled more than what, ten times a minute? That I don't agree with for I don't think one's opponent should be able to figure his tactics based on the total knowledge of one's gun.

Why don't you two read my last post or did you just ignore it and chose to quote my first post?

I didn't know that the AR-15 was not an automatic weapon. I figure all those that call it an assault weapon must know. I am wrong? Is the AK-47 automatic? Like I said, IDK anything about guns except mine. A non-automatic gun is okay. I think the problem I have with those guns AR-15 types are the jerks that use them for hunting!!! There is no way those kind of guns should be used for hunting animals.

If you've ever had to use them to kill off coyotes or wolves, you'd appreciate the hunting and livestock protection capabilities of an AR or a ranch rifle.
