Why have just one AR-15 when you can have two? My picnic table is packing some pretty heavy fire power.

So...why do you need an assault rifle in the first place? I mean, i'm all for right to bear arms...but I highly doubt you'll ever need more than a handgun to protect yourself and your family from an intruder. An assault rifle is completely excessive. It's not like Al Qaeda is invading or anything

Why do some people have trucks when everyone could use less pollution causing cars? Who says it's for self defense? He may just enjoy shooting them, hell I would. And if there was an intruder in my house, I would want an assault rifle over a 9 anyday... Matter of fact, I want the 7.62 just to make sure. ------------- |

Dually noted, i too would like to shoot big guns. That being said it's still excessive. While everyone would rather have an assault rifle, a pistol more than does the job. They all do the same thing. I'm glad you brought that up. We shouldn't drive trucks. It just gives gas companies more of a reason to charge such high prices. Supply and demand. If we all drove more fuel efficient cars we would be in control of the market again. Or at least in more control. ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

So.....exactly what color IS the sky in the world you live in? No one said anything about 'needing' assault rifles. I'm sure you have plenty of things that you don't 'need.' We've got the ability to purchase, own, and shoot them, so why not take advantage of that? Its like any other hobby- unless you're into it, you probably just don't get it. ------------- ? |

I'd rather have a .45 than an AR-15 for home protection. An AR-15 at close range will just go through the target, a .45 will knock 'em down good. But I wouldn't mind having some assault rifles, in case China invades. Then I could create a bad ass militia. If I wasn't still in the military. |

Guns kill people. Dead is dead. Some are larger than some other guns but for the most part not. .223 is a mouse gun IMO. Now a .308 will do some damage. -------------

That depends on what "the job" is. For killing baddies, sure a pistol will probably do fine for most folk. But for collecting, showing off on the interwebz, looking at, holding, caressing... Each gun is different. Taking a completely utilitarian approach to these things is not helpful. Kind of like explaining why I have more than a dozen paintball guns. They all also can "do the job", but I still love them all the same. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

| If you also have to go outside to shoot coyotes, hunt small critters, or want a modular platform for everything from target shooting to moose hunting, an AR-15 is a good choice. Parts and knowhow are also widely available and no doubt will be for for some time. AR's also have good ergonomics and in a pinch would make a better club than a pistol. |

That's really all I'm saying. I'm not in any way denying that it's fun to be able to say "oh yeah?" and whip out a buttload of assault rifles, but at the same time it's just ridiculous to say you're getting all those rifles to defend your home. It's just a bad excuse. Just say it how it is, you collect them because you like them. I'd be totally okay with that answer. I would like to retract my statement all together, however, as soon as I have a family of my own I too will buy a pistol or shotgun for the house just in case. While I never plan on using it, you can never be too safe. And to whoever asked what color my sky was: Green. ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

For recreation? Having an assault rifle does not mean your out to use it for self defense.
We can get them over here. They are just restricted so you need restricted PAL which is not hard to get. If you want to keep owning fun toys like a AR or handgun in Canada. Vote conservative ------------- |

They are NOT assault weapons. They are semi automatic rifles. Yes there is a BIG difference. Assaualt weapons fire semi and full auto. Anyhow now that I got that out of my system, nice carbine(the stag).

You should look into the BATF rules regarding the addition of parts from anything they classify as an assault weapon the moment you install them on the rifle. collapsible stocks, flash suppressors/muzzle comps, clawed hammers, etc.. ------------- Innocence proves nothing FUAC!!!!! |

Owning fire arms is nice, if you have a thing against guns, more power to you, but theres a saying, Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. We have a Ruger 40. SKS rifle "Yugoslovian, not no chinese piece..." Taurus 9mm. four 30/30s one 30.6 and a 7.62x39 bolt action.. I will soon be purchasing a Ruger 45. after I get my T.v paid off... Taking weapons out, having fun and shooting them, if you don't enjoy that, then thats fine, but I enjoy the hell out of it, and thats my excuse for having alot of guns. A Police officer, told us at our work, we should start carrying pistols, he said the crime rate has gone up so much in the past year its insane. When a cop tells you, you need to get a concealed liscense and a pistol, I think its time to get a pistol, My brother now carrys his Ruger 40. at work at all times, its on a quick release holster attached to his belt. When I get my pistol, I won't even bother getting a concealed weapons permit, I personally would prefer "Atleast" one year of getting used to firing, loading, and handling it before I go and wear it on me, a pistol is not something you want to second guess when something goes down. /rant over... p.s also just a note, if someone broke into your home, say your married and got acouple kids, you go blasting away with any kind of assault rifle indoors, theres a chance one of those rounds could go through the bad guy, through the wall behind him, and strike someone you love, a lower calibur is better off. |
Posted By: Savage93fvss
Date Posted: 10 June 2008 at 5:53pm
| Actually I read a review of which bullet is best for not going through the walls and killing your family, they said a .223 is better for indoor use than buckshot, and .45 acp. The .223 just breaks in so many pieces when they impact that if they did go through the "bad guy" and the wall the peices that made it wouldnt be big enough/ have enough velocity to do much damage. |

Thats good to know, but I know some of us "me" would prefer a AK47 over a bushmaster, M4 variant, being its a larger cal more punch, but better chance of it going through the wall. I really figured a 223. would go through some concrete, is it really that weak?  p.s I take it 40.'s and 9mm's are pretty decent on not going through walls? |

| I've never understood owning an AK or AR-15. Good looking gun but it only fires semi-auto. Seems to me a pretty expensive rifle for only firing semi. If I get a rifle it will usually be a classic or historic weapon. As for home protection, AK's and any assault looking rifle are too cumbersome indoors. A good pistol and shotgun (which you don't have to be too accurate with) are the best pieces for the home. High powered rifles have a way too powerful bullet to be flying through my dry wall and into my child's room. Good pistol ammo and low powered shotgun rounds won't have that same effect. |

I like it when people try to bring the halo jump into CoD 4. As if they can simply jump over a frag grenade, or an m60 fully beaded in on them. Ye-hah. Have fun with that strategy. Anyway, I can understand the points a perspective shared on this forum, I just feel like I've experienced scenarios where I ask someone why they have an assault rifle and they label it for protection far too many times. It's good that the people here are responsible and educated enough in such an important matter to know what needs to be used and where. It kind of slightly restores my faith in the whole "gun" issue. Now...to the guy talking about a cop that told him to carry a gun: If you're ever talking to a cop, and he comes right out and says the crime rate is so bad you need to carry a gun on you at all times when you leave the house, it's time to move, man. Come on. When even the police are throwing their hands up in the air and suggesting vigilante justice, theres a huge problem.

It looks like the safety on every AR. You can't tell until you remove the lower from the upper and then look. An M16 safety, hammer, and bolt carrier are different than that of an AR. The safety from the outside looks like a typical AR safety, look at M16 safety and you'll notice an extra notch on it for moving to full auto or burst. M16s have clawed hammers, ARs do not. AN M16 boltcarrier has more metal on the lower sleaving of the bolt carrier. An AR bolt carrier has had that removed to make it a little more difficult to turn it into a full auto weapon. You can take M16 parts and put them into an AR, they will fit minus one little detail involving the lower reciever. and the law. Any AR can be made to an M16 if you have the know how and the tools to do so and still have the appearence of a legal AR. to anyone who is thinking about converting their AR to M16, DO NOT DO THIS! YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW BY DO SO. Does 2 years in a fed pen seem worth it?
