So is every other weapon ever invented or manufactured.The AR is a weapon of War.
So, whether you are advocating for a total ban or not, you are constructively doing so by perpetuating this bullshit distinction.

The AR really has only one thing it's good at and that's a firefight. And there is nothing out there better. Spooner took all the good qualities of all the other weapons and put them into one small,light package with only one thing in mind. And it wasn't varmint hunting. The fact that the M-1 is also a very good Deer and Elk rifle means it has other uses than war. It doesn't fit the criteria of todays "Weapon of War" like the AR does. The AR is a piss poor hunting rifle but it's the BEST personal Professional Soldiers Rifle out there because it's designed to be exactly that. Evey feature in it is for that scared shitless, adrenaline pumping poorly trained troop to use in a firefight in battle. It's looks are governed by it's features. Not the other way around. Nothing is left for cosmetics. It's ugly because that's what you get when you purpose build a rifle for combat. If you have never been faced in a overrun situation like I have, you will never appreciate the AR family of Rifles. Of course, the M-60 and the M-2 was greatly appreciated as well. When you are faced with a 20 to one odds, the AR family does the job. It had better. And Spooner designed it for the task. The M-1 no longer could handle the job since it could also be a great deer rifle and could have cosmetics added to it without taking away it's function. The M-16 (or AR family) cannot have cosmetics added to it without taking away it's function.
To give you an idea. There are wooden stocks for the AR-15 which also fit the M-16 and the M-4. The M-4 with a 30 round mag weighs just over 7 lbs. Add the wood stocks to replace the plastic pieces and the weight is over 10 lbs. This also applies to the AR-15 Model 750. Cosmetically, the Wood Stock AR looks pretty damned good and you can do all sorts of overlays and trim and really doll that puppy up. But since you increased the weight, you also defeated one of the features that makes the AR a weapon of war. You added 3 pounds or more of weight. I can think of several semi auto 223 wooden stocked rifles of the same weight that will shoot circles around the AR-15 and cost to purchase. If you can think of a way to mount a Hot Tub on an AR, I might consider buying an AR.
I see you are betraying your ignorance again. An AR is PERFECT for varmint hunting, including feral pigs. An AR is not built for combat. NO soldier would take an AR into combat instead of an M-16 or M-4. You SHOULD stop posting, but since you're just an ignorant troll, you certainly won't.
