Crowd Sourcing JF: AR-15

[bigb]

So is a .22 and a .308 (the other 2 pictured)

I have no desire to own a firearm chambered in .223. Frankly, I don't understand people that do. It seems to me like not being into bicycles or 4x4's but being really into a minivan with rims. Different strokes I guess.

I used to think that as well. And then I shot a .223.

Build your own. It's fun, you get a higher quality, and it's fun.

I'm sure glad i don't live in a country where all manner of guns are so easily accessible to mentally ill and other unstable people.

Just looked at your homicide and suicide rates since the reform was passed following the Port Arthur Massacre. Pretty staggeringly in favor of the reform imo. Interesting.

And fwiw peeps, I'm far from anti-gun. I'm pro 2nd amendment. But to think we don't reform and bills passed is silly.

to be specific, i'm referring to the mass shooting scenario ... i've not looked at statistics on single shootings and suicideds but more the chance of a mass shooting where a nutter has loaded up with automatic weapons and bucketloads of ammunition ..

the suicides is an interesting one, i wouldn't necessarily have expected any correlation

I doubt suicides went down either. Just ones by gun.

This.

I'm not impressed by a whole lot. I'm not a tech guy. Two things in the last dozen of years have impressed me: AR-15's and 1080p.

I've owned and been in possession of a gun since 12 years old. I don't care to go shooting like a lot of people who pick up the hobby later in life. I got that out of my system as a kid and might put 10 bullets through a barrel per year. If I were to go shooting it would be AR-15, muzzle loader (I like the work involved and the distinct sound), and sometimes shotgun. AR-15's are fun.

Australia is a great case study on the gun control's side.
