Why millions of Americans — including me — own the AR-15

119. Just a few points here

I'm not suggesting that everyone's safety depends on a weapon. I quote #27 from the (unofficial) USMC Rules for Gun Fighting: "Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation."

Having said those things, banning and onerous regulations will only encourage further crime in a country where privately owned guns are as common as privately owned cars.

AKs (full-auto weapons), explosives and flame throwers (and numerous other weapons) are already only legal for private citizens after a long investigation and approval process by the ATF. The last crime involving a full-auto was the North Hollywood shootout at Bank of America in 1997. An AR-15 is no more lethal than any other semi-auto of the same caliber.

Hold back on gunslingers/thrilled by death folks by all means. Determine who those folks are according to due process in the courts not by what color they like their rifle.

What do you mean by "step into the way of arms dealers profits"?

Re: "...right to blow holes in everything..." amendment; there isn't one. Hyperbole I infer.
