In reply to the discussion: Dear pedantic shits saying it's a Sig Sauer MCX, not an AR-15, and not an assault rifle: FUCK YOU [View all]marble falls
(57,447 posts)but while your "reason" was strong enough in the fifties, the proliferation of these weapons have become a nation health and public safety issue. They all need to be confiscated: even the paper plate killers and the wall hangers. If you don't know somewhere in your heart that even just one of those shot dead by a guy who spent long hours honing his skills on range shooting paper trumps your right to own one then maybe your paper palate killer needs to be taken in the first go around.
Just so you know: I own and I use fire arms, but I can tell you exactly why I use and own each piece. I'd never match a $2-3G SigSauer version AR-15 to a paper plate. I don't hunt any more and my fire arms ownership reflects it. The Marlin is gone, the M1 carbine is in my son's gunsafe, I still have the old 410 Remington for coyotes and the old cap and ball .44 kit revolver I built in high school. I still plink with the Crossman and the old Winchester 190 my dad used as a kid. And I am absolute hell on a paper plate, even the Zombie ones. As well as the occasional ground hog.
