Why do you need an AR15?

It's awesome, I can and I will.

Because this guy says we shouldn't be allowed to own them.

I see absolutely no reason — constitutionally or morally — that justifies the sale and possession of weapons of mass destruction. I

Because after 10-1, we won't be able to buy a Single Barrel Shotgun without a background check.

You already do get one. Now you'll just have to wait 100 days for said shotgun.

Because I wanted One and Because I have the right to do so

I don't.

I want one. That's all the reason I need.

That's already the case. It's just done in store.

My reason for "needing an AR"- I didn't have one until I was told I couldn't own one after oct 1. So I "needed" to plan for the future and possible needs that may come up. I think that's good enough.

... because needs do not define civil liberties. Individual freedoms define civil liberties. That's it.

Not only did I discover I needed an AR, but a few un-built lowers, an M1A, and a Mini-14, too. And that's not even banned. Oh, and another Hi Power. see, gun control works!

Since a shotgun doesn't have the accuracy and range past 100 yards needed to defend the +260 acre farm from scrap metal thieves (looking for pipe, fence wire, spare tractor parts and tools) and nuisance critters like ground hogs and random deer, the AR-15 is perfect. The light weight and accuracy beyond 300 yards allows a perfect package for easy carry since the farm has tall steep hills and a combination of walking and driving is the only way to get around. Plus a rifle with anything over 308 Win is going to be over kill on the pests we regularly deal with (except the occasional bear which is where the 1911 helps since the bears don't really bother us).

I didn't have an AR, I actually had an MSAR STG-556 with optics but the principle's just the same. It's too bad I don't have it anymore (traded it in for my 1911).

Anyone have that "AR is like Barbie's for grown ups?" pic? Scanned this thread and didn't see it. Shocked, I tell ya. (unless I missed it).
