They're fun to shoot

People use them for hunting and for self defense but the biggest reason is that they don't need a reason.

Terrible troll

Because it's my ****ing right, that needs no further explanation to you are anyone else

Because I want to. I enjoy shooting.

Because I can and you cannot do anything about it!

Cops are 15 minutes away at best. I live on a rural property. If baddies show up, I want to win decisively.

To kill tyrannical governments. Like our forefathers intended!

*** Personal attacks are out of bounds -- Staff ***

They're inexpensive, easy to maintain, easy to customize, and none of your GD business

Last time I checked I don't need a reason.

Power tool v hand tool.

No one "needs" a power tool

Shall not be infringed.

What other stupid question do you need an answer to?

Because I can and it pisses off liberals.

Because our society is becoming increasingly mad, dangerous and violent and I need a reliable weapon to stop people who behave in that manner around my family.

Just in case......


And BTW quit calling them AR-15s. They are freedom dispensers that spread freedom seeds.

Would you find me owning an AR-10 acceptable?

Also, as someone who is eligible for militia service in the worst of worst situations, I feel it is my responsibility to be adequately equipped to do so.

Long-time shotgun owner, which I've used for hunting and sport. I've shot many other types of guns, but haven't had the need or strong enough desire to purchase anything else.

I just purchased my first AR-15 kit from Thunder Tactical. Why?

• They are low cost, versatile, with many options to configure
• Can be used for hunting, sport, self defense, and national defense (i.e. Ukraine)
• Friends own them, and it's a sense of community
• I want to own one before the government puts in more restrictions
• The older I get (currently 40), the more I realize how important 2A is

- It is ergonomic, and easy to handle because you have 3 points of contact
- With a half decent sight, you won't miss your target at 50 yards.
- There is practically no recoil, even 10 year olds can handle it
Wife , kids, nieces have all shot it.
This is the primary reason we have em and love em

- You can get it in multiple calibers
- You can get it in multiple barrel sizes to suit your need
- It is easy to disassemble, and easy (fun!) to mod
- 223/5.56./300 BLK ammo is relatively easy to find
- You can have 10,30, 50/60 round mags, again to fit your need
- For a beginner shooter, it is much easier to handle than a handgun or shotgun
- Personally, it's safer around kids. Handguns are easier for a child to trigger, ARs are not.

These are just top of my head

I never believe a liberal who claims to be a gun owner.

That's my comment.

I'm a hunter, a shooter, an outdoorsman. I own a 243, an ought 6 and 3 scatter guns...2 12's and a 20.

Muh daddy and grandpappy was the same, most the guns I got was from them.

I'm an NRA member, got the hat and everything.

I support gun rights.

But you don't need an AR for deer hunting, and you don't need an AR for bird hunting.

There ain't no need for high capacity clips and shoulder braces unless yer fixin' on killin' someone.




In the real world we call you 'Fudds'. On the internet we call you a troll.

Which one is your favorite hog and coyote gun?

Purchased my first one a dozen years ago. It's been a game changer in hog hunting

Well it's only 2/3rds as deadly as an AR 15 so it might be okay!

It's a weapon that would be effective at fighting a war against a tyrannical government. No need to sugar coat it, and its the reason we wont give them up.

The 2nd amendment is not defined for hunting.
