Right. I don't know why and don't care why people buy AR-15's.
@Chosen Daughter I bought mine because our political masters kept talking about making it illegal to buy one. Haven't shot the damn thing in decades,but I do have it,and a case of ammo to go with it.
Truth is when it comes to rifles,I like 7mm and longer,with longer barrels and bolt-actions. Which will IMMEDIATELY be labeled as "sniper rifles" and become the new "weapons of war that MUST be confiscated!" as soon as they finish confiscating the AR-15's.
I have no intention of giving up anything,ever,until I get so old I am put into the State Home for Feebs,and then I will probably give them away to someone younger.
