13 Reasons Why AR-15’s Should NEVER BE BANNED

Upon entering the Petits' home, Komisarjevsky beat William with a baseball bat, and the pair restrained him in the basement. Hawke-Petit and her daughters were also restrained. Hayes later kidnapped Hawke-Petit and forced her to withdraw money at a bank. After returning to the home, Hayes raped Hawke-Petit and strangled her to death. Komisarjevsky raped 11-year-old Michaela. The invaders then decided to burn down the house to destroy evidence. With Hayley and Michaela tied to their beds, the invaders doused them and the house with gasoline and set it on fire, leaving them to die of smoke inhalation.[4]

Rifles, including AR-15s, account for approximately 3% of all murders in the United States annually.

Handguns, including pistols and revolvers, account for well over 50% of all murders in the United States annually.

Solution: Let’s continue to focus on AR-15s.

I'm sorry to hear that. Knock on wood, I've never had someone break into my house.

Were you home when they broke in? Were they armed?

One time was when I was a kid in Davenport, I was not home. They stole a bunch of my Dad's weed and weed growing shit. I was young so I don't know what all else.



Lincoln, no, i lived with 2 other guys and it was very obvious they targeted one of them. A bunch of his shit got stolen, only thing of mine was my Xbox 360, and they threw a grill propane yank through our garage door which scratched my motorcycle.



Story time:

My Dad would buy and sell cars when I lived in Dport. He had a shitty mustang 2 at one point, yellow, and some "kids" (20 somethings) broke in and tried stealing the radio. My dad caught them and ran one kid down. I jumped on my made from trashcans bike and followed them. Behind Rockingham road there is a alley, I watched my dad beat the ever living **** out of some redheaded kid right about here:

13 Reasons Why AR-15’s Should NEVER BE BANNED
If you’ve ever heard someone refer to the AR-15 as a “weapon of war” that should be banned you may be wondering if that’s an accurate description.
The truth is, there are many reasons why the AR-15 is not a weapon of war. In fact, despite its military-inspired design, the AR-15 is a civilian firearm that is commonly used for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense.
There is a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding the AR-15. Some people believe that it is a dangerous and deadly weapon that has no place in civilian hands. However, the reality is that the AR-15 is a versatile and reliable firearm that is popular among gun enthusiasts for a variety of reasons.


In the following sections, we’ll explore some of the key reasons why the AR-15 is not a weapon of war, and why it is a valuable tool for responsible gun owners and should never be banned.

1. Not Automatic
One of the most common misconceptions about the AR-15 is that it is an automatic weapon. However, this is not the case. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle, meaning that it fires one round every time the trigger is pulled. This is the same firing mechanism as many other common firearms, such as handguns and shotguns. It is important to note that automatic weapons, also known as machine guns, have been heavily regulated in the United States since the National Firearms Act of 1934. This law requires that anyone who wants to own an automatic weapon must go through a rigorous process that includes a background check, fingerprinting, and a $200 tax stamp. As a result, automatic weapons are extremely rare and expensive, and are not commonly used by civilians. The misconception that the AR-15 is an automatic weapon may stem from its appearance. The AR-15 is modeled after the military’s M16 rifle, which is capable of automatic fire. However, the civilian version of the AR-15 is not capable of automatic fire and is functionally no different from many other semi-automatic rifles commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.

2. Common Use
The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that is commonly used for civilian purposes such as hunting, target shooting, and self-defense. It is not a weapon of war, as it is not used by the military in combat situations. The AR-15 is a versatile firearm that can be customized to fit the needs of the user. It is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a popular choice for those who are new to shooting. It is also highly accurate and reliable, which makes it a favorite among experienced shooters.

3. Hunting Utility
One of the primary uses of the AR-15 is for hunting. The rifle is popular among hunters because of its accuracy, reliability, and versatility.
The AR-15 is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for hunting in a variety of environments.
With the ability to customize the rifle, hunters can choose from a wide variety of calibers, barrel lengths, and optics to suit their specific needs.
The AR-15’s semi-automatic action allows for quick follow-up shots, which is important when hunting fast-moving game.
In addition, the AR-15 is a popular choice for predator control. Farmers and ranchers use the rifle to protect their livestock from coyotes, foxes, and other predators. The rifle’s accuracy and range make it an effective tool for this purpose.

4. Sport Shooting
One of the main reasons why AR-15’s are not a weapon of war is because they are widely used for sport shooting. In fact, the AR-15 is one of the most popular rifles used in competitive shooting events.
The AR-15’s design makes it an ideal choice for sport shooting due to its accuracy, reliability, and ease of customization. Many enthusiasts enjoy modifying their rifles to suit their preferences and optimize their performance in competitions.
In addition, sport shooting with AR-15’s is a legitimate and legal activity that is recognized and supported by many organizations and governing bodies.
Competitions are held regularly at local, state, and national levels, providing opportunities for enthusiasts to showcase their skills and compete against others.

5. Self-Defense
One of the primary reasons why individuals choose to own an AR-15 is for self-defense. The AR-15 is a reliable firearm that can be used to protect oneself and one’s family in the event of a home invasion or other threat.
In fact, a Post-Ipsos survey of AR-15 owners found that 33% cited self-defense as their reason for owning the firearm. This demonstrates that the AR-15 is not solely a weapon of war, but rather a versatile firearm that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Furthermore, the AR-15’s design makes it well-suited for self-defense. Its lightweight and maneuverable build allows for quick and accurate shots, while its semi-automatic firing mechanism allows for rapid follow-up shots if necessary.

6. Educational Tool
The AR-15 is widely used as an educational tool for teaching firearms safety, marksmanship, and self-defense. Many shooting ranges and firearm training facilities use the AR-15 as a primary firearm for training purposes.
The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that requires the shooter to pull the trigger for each round fired, unlike automatic rifles that continue to fire as long as the trigger is held down.
The AR-15’s design allows for easy customization, making it an excellent platform for teaching gunsmithing and firearm modification.
Additionally, the AR-15 is a popular choice for hunting, as it is lightweight, accurate, and versatile. It is commonly used for hunting small game, such as rabbits and squirrels, as well as larger game, such as deer and elk.

7. Precision
One of the main reasons why AR-15’s are not a weapon of war is their precision. These firearms are designed to be highly accurate, allowing for precise shot placement at long distances.
This precision is achieved through a combination of factors, including the rifle’s design, the quality of its components, and the skill of the shooter.
AR-15’s are built with a number of features that contribute to their precision. For example, they typically have a free-floating barrel, which means that the barrel is not attached to the stock of the rifle. This reduces the amount of interference that can occur between the barrel and the stock, which can affect accuracy. Additionally, AR-15’s often have match-grade barrels, which are made with high-quality materials and manufacturing processes to ensure maximum accuracy. Another factor that contributes to the precision of AR-15’s is the quality of their components. These firearms are often built with high-quality triggers, which can help to reduce the amount of trigger pull required to fire the rifle.
This can result in a smoother and more consistent trigger pull, which can improve accuracy.

8. Customizable
AR-15’s are not a weapon of war, as they are highly customizable. This feature makes them an ideal choice for sports and recreational shooting, hunting, and home defense.
AR-15’s can be easily modified to suit the shooter’s preferences. For example, you can change the barrel length, add a different stock, or use a different caliber. This customization allows for greater accuracy and precision, which is essential for sports shooting and hunting.
Moreover, the AR-15’s modularity allows for easy maintenance and repair, which is crucial for soldiers in the field. The ability to replace parts quickly and efficiently ensures that the weapon remains functional in combat situations.
In addition, the AR-15’s customization options make it easier for law enforcement agencies to tailor the weapon to their specific needs. For example, they can add a flashlight or a laser sight to improve accuracy in low-light situations.

9. Safety Features
Another reason why AR-15’s are not a weapon of war is due to their safety features. The AR-15 rifle has several safety features built into the design that make it a safe and reliable firearm for civilian use.
Firstly, the rifle has a manual safety switch that can be engaged to prevent accidental discharge. This safety switch is located on the left side of the rifle, just above the trigger. When engaged, it blocks the trigger from moving, preventing the gun from firing.
Secondly, the AR-15 rifle has a bolt catch mechanism that prevents the gun from firing when the magazine is empty. This feature ensures that the gun cannot be fired when there are no rounds in the chamber, reducing the risk of accidental discharge.
Finally, the AR-15 rifle has a buffer system that reduces recoil and muzzle rise, making it easier to control and shoot accurately. This buffer system also reduces wear and tear on the rifle, making it more durable and reliable over time.

And be lucky enough that you’re close to your gun hen the bad ugly break, be awake when they do so, etc.

I really don’t object to owning a gun for self/home defense. The odds are against it happening to any one of us, but yeah, all it takes is the one time.

Using that as an argument for the AR-15 however…you lose me a bit here. Handguns, shotguns, even hunting rifles would all be perfectly acceptable if the need arose.

It is really that simple. We live in a free society and with that unfortunately comes some drawbacks like gun violence. The issues because of gun violence are deeper than the gun itself however.

You left out the part about "well regulated" militias.

If you're a true originalist, don't leave out the most important part. We could slash our military budget tremendously and cut our taxes and pay off our nation's debt, right?

Unfortunately it seems like the only militia types we have are of the Timothy McVeigh ilk.

The Supreme Court has already ruled on this numerous times. Stop with the well regulated militia crap.
