https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2018/06/28/no-one-needs-ban-anti-gun-argument/Right now, the anti-gun zealots are preoccupied with so-called “assault rifles.†They’re doing everything they can to gin up support for a ban, hoping that a weak-spined majority in Congress will “bow to the will of the people†if they can just get enough support and hold onto it for a long enough period of time.
One of their favorite arguments, however, is that “no one needs an AR-15.†They usually then call it a “weapon of war.â€
As gun folks, we tend to take issue with the whole “weapon of war†thing. After all, the AR-15 isn’t a weapon of war. No military on Earth has ever fielded the weapon and none has expressed any interest in doing so. While it’s similar to the M16/M4 platform, it lacks that select-fire capability that pretty much every military on the planet needs.
