I love those. So functional and simple looking that they're elegant.

Is this a type that you consider suited to remain leagal?

What are the key features that makes a type unsuited to publick availiblity?

Yes I agree that it has appeal.

One of these days i might buy a Browning Hipower 9mm,  but not before I can afford it.

Swallow your own nuts, sirs, you asshole.

Priceless.  Perhaps you should avoid the kitchen, if truth, facts, and reality are just too damn hot

Right now I only want the AR15 to be banned. In my corner are people like Gen. McCrystal and others who have had to kill human beings for a living. On the opposite side of the debate are those too poorly equipped to inhabit this shrinking world. Their answer to the hole they find themselves in is more guns, suicide vests, car bombs, anti-imigration laws, homophobia, and the like.

And in my corner is current reality and facts, that includes that handguns, NOT the AR 15, as the weapon of choice for murderers.  Not to mention, as Plane clearly reminded us, the fact that guns purchases have risen, and violent crime, including that of guns used to kill has DECREASED.

It's wholly inconsistent to want to ban 1 specific type of gun that is a fraction of a fraction used in murders, while guns in general, including the use of the AR 15, save FAR more lives in this country, than taken by them

I had a chance to buy an AR15 at $800, with scope , but otherwise very basic.

It was a very good buy , but I needed to save the money, so I didn't.

For hunting I have a pretty good rifle already , and the AR15 would not have made me $800 more effective.

I think I can get better results by planting food where I hunt, so that there are more and better fed deer there.

But that is me , I expect that in the remainder of my life I am quite likely to shoot at a few deer and no human beings, if the unlikely occurs and I have to shoot a human being I have a pistol that would work to give me a chance, and the rifle too of course.


But what if my circumstances were diffrent? What if I needed to defend myself from attack frequently? There are people with this reasonable expectation, should they also have to buy wepons intended to harvest deer?
