As I said upthread , I neither own nor desire to own an AR-platform weapon . I also agree with <you?> whoever it was that said <basically> that this particular firearm has been demonized by the MSM . EEEEEEEeeeeeviiiiillllllllll assault weapon ! Good only for killin' innercent chirrens and mall shoppers . I'll just have to make do with Dad's 7.7 Arisaka and my 20 ga bolt shotgun . Oh , and that bow and arrow set I made from an Osage Orange tree and plum saplings .
