Almost 18 MILLION AR-15 Rifles Now in American Hands

[Mikeoxenormous]

Because we can. Just like we can buy these goodies: Police-issue Level IIIA body armor, military-issue body armor, and chemical-biological masks. Fun stuff unless you're a felon, then you can't have them...

That's kinda nutty to spend thousands of dollars on shit you don't need and will never use. Y'all have too much money and too much empty space in your houses? Or is it a hillbilly thing or something?

Thousands of dollars?

I have about $50 in what I just pictured. But I get what you're saying: Why should anyone have a Maserati and a swimming pool, when a beat up old Chevy and a mudhole would do?

I'm saying with at least one weapon like an AR... There's 18 million peeps who have one and I'm guessing that they can't all afford a Maserati... It's like having enough TVs in your house but you buy another pretty expensive one to stick in your closet. I'm trying to figure out why, that's all.

Because we can. Good enough for you, or do I need to further justify the way I spend my money?

Well good thing you don't have to give an actual reason to buy one. Because we can, that's retarded.

So you dont believe in freedom in the US? Got it.

No it’s a 2nd Amendment thing. Maybe you should read it and educate yourself a little. Plus Assholes like you and your Democrats want to ban guns so if they try we are prepared.

I don't want to ban guns, you had to make that up. And I'm not a democrat. You failed twice in 3 lines. Not bad.

Yeah your not a Democrat. Lie, you aren’t against guns lie. All your posts are against guns. You argue with every conservative on here Who is the liar.

I'm simply curious as to why anyone would buy an AR, let alone 18 million peeps. If I'm going to hunt I'll use a gun made for that purpose.

Armalite Rifle - 15 was made for hunting. You really should try to get some education.

Because we can. Good enough for you, or do I need to further justify the way I spend my money?

Well good thing you don't have to give an actual reason to buy one. Because we can, that's retarded.

Since when do I need to offer you an explanation or a reason for anything I want to own? Free, white, and 21 here, so GFY with a rusty AIDS-infected garden rake.

I was just curious as to why. It's because we can. Not much of a reason to spend good money when you already have more weapons than you can use at once. But whatever...

Maybe I just like guns. Is that a problem?

Hell, I bought 8 of them this summer at garages sales, and 14 of them last year. Cheap too.

So 18 million people can't come up with a good reason for having one. Or is it just you and elongobardi?

Of course there is that wraskly 2nd amendment that was created to provide the US citizens a way to defend themselves from governments foreign and domestic. The Commies who are trying to over throw the will of the people by removing a duly elected president, just might find themselves on the wrong side of a barrel....if you know what I mean.

422 million guns out there in America, 17,740,000 of which are AR-15 variants.

Of course, you probably want to take this story with a grain of salt. The number is more than likely higher, considering how many are being built from parts and kits.

"AR-15s and other similar rifles may remain a key target of anti-gun politicians and activists, but new firearms industry production numbers indicate that they're still incredibly popular among American gun owners.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation — the trade association for the firearms industry — put out a numbers report on Wednesday indicating that 17.74 million modern sporting rifles are currently privately owned in the United States. Furthermore, the report found that a 54 percent majority of all rifles produced in 2017 were modern sporting rifles.

The NSSF's website explains that the term "modern sporting rifle" refers to "today's very popular semiautomatic rifle designs, including the AR-15 and its offspring" which have been legally sold for civilian use since the 1960s..."

New numbers show that Americans own almost 18 million AR-15s and other modern sporting rifles

That's a lot of AR 15s, and a whole lotta freedom.

Interesting. How much freedom have the victims killed and their families enjoyed by those weapons being in the hands of people who should not have had them?

by those weapons being in the hands of people who should not have had them?

yeah, why did the FBI do nothing to stop these people who had been flagged to the FBI, and you dumbasses want US to give up our guns so we too can be killed by a radical liberal. No thank you....

They didn't have the freedom to shoot first? The Second Amendment applies to everyone, doesn't it? Or am I just special?

The 5 & 6 year old kids in Conn. need to be able to shoot first? The teens at Parkland needed to be armed at school. The movie goers in Colorado needed to be armed so as to shoot first, the people in Las Vegas attending a concert needed to be armed?

It this what freedom means to you, having everyone being armed in every situation?

The 2nd A. according to Justice Scalia did not apply to everyone.

Not my problem. So some kids got killed in a school, oh Boo Hoo. WTF do you want me to do about it? Throw away my weapons and jeopardize my own life and the lives of my loved ones, because I own a rifle that offends or scares you?

Not going to happen. Nobody ever promised that life is going to be fair, so grow up.

You'd sing a different tune if you ever had a child murdered at school

I would be blaming the school like a bunch of the parents in Parkland are doing. The school didn’t do it’s job to protect the kids. 1 armed officer and a couple of unarmed security officers who are just targets for a High School that big. What about the 4 police officers outside while shots were being fired and they didn’t go in. They also didn’t pay attention to the watch list just like the FBI who dropped the ball as well. The schooled expelled him for bringing bullets to school and didn’t do anything to watch out for him. The kids knew about the threat from him and didn’t say anything. His mother didn’t say anything before she died and three family and friends he lived with after wouldn’t eat him bring the guns in the house so he buried them in the backyards day they never said anything but you morons blame the gun. A gun can’t kill anyone, it is the psycho holding it, but you already knew all that before you opened you big mouth. Conn., the mother failed to secure her guns properly and she should have been charged too. You knew that too right.

Shut up dumbass. You make believe fake cop. AR 15’s are used the least in shootings and killings dumbass. 90% of the shootings could have been avoided if people used their brains and did there jobs so go back to bed.

$275.

We get it; you don't know shit about firearms. And you think you should be able to decide who owns what.

Nobody has to justify anything to you. You're impotent in a way no little blue pill can cure.

Thank God. Imagine if that moron could reproduce. We’d have more buttholes just like him

I feel great.

That comment shows how stupid you are. People buy them because they use them for hunting, they’re fun to shoot and if you have a home invasion which happens all the time you have a great chance of survival. Libtards like you know nothing about guns and believe what the media and your retarded Democrats tell you. No clue. When you are someone in your family get home invaded and dead. Then let us know what you think.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you're saying 18 million peeps are afraid in their own home enough to buy a powerful weapon because the weapons they already have don't make them feel secure enough, got it.

Your ignorant. You only took one part of what I said. I know that’s the libtard way. I said first people use them to hunt and also love to shoot them. Also, you say powerful, a shot gun is more powerful, 300 Win Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7.62, 30-30 and the list goes on. Your just to stupid to admit it. It’s funny, Democrats repeat the same lie over and over to try and convince themselves and voters it’s true.

It sure speaks well for a good design. I wonder why Colt is getting out of the AR-15 business.

Because they’re to many other well known AR 15 companies out there that have been selling them or derivatives for years. Colt would have to much catching up to do and the expense isn’t worth it.

Makes sense. Sentimentality to or about a brand is no bases for business decisions. I would have thought Colt could have seen what was going on and developed a better business plan to remain in the game.

I never said that I didn't like them, I was simply asking what they're for if you already have a bunch of guns. And you can't come up with anything except hunting, which doesn't seem logical.

You've been given the answer repeatedly.

Ya, "because we can". Which seems kinda juvenile.

Never said that.

The other two geniuses did. You apparently have no reason.

I'll tell you for the third time....at least in this thread.
READ THE 2ND AMENDMENT!!!!

The 2nd says that you don't HAVE to buy a gun.

People use them to hunt. Try and think of something else. What because you don’t like them means we all should agree with you. No common sense what so ever. Why don’t you use some of your money to go buy a clue.

They are fun to shoot. Have you ever shot one. I’m sure no you haven’t. You don’t like them. Look back at your posts. Why own a gun your not going to shoot, because it’s a collectors item. I love shooting mine. It’s fun. As for you opinions are like assholes, everyone had one. Especially libtard assholes like you

18 million peeps spend a lot of money on a gun because they're fun?

Does anyone need a reason? For instance, I have a concealed-carry permit and I live in a "shall issue" jurisdiction state. That means the state shall issue the permit, provided the background check is passed and the fees are paid.

Now some jurisdictions or states have what's called a "may issue", which means the granting of such permits is partially at the discretion of local authorities.

Now answer me this: What authority do you have to decide what kind or how many weapons someone can own?

So you bought an AR for no reason. GOOD ANSWER!!!

 

[Taz]

That's kinda nutty to spend thousands of dollars on shit you don't need and will never use. Y'all have too much money and too much empty space in your houses? Or is it a hillbilly thing or something?

Thousands of dollars?

I have about $50 in what I just pictured. But I get what you're saying: Why should anyone have a Maserati and a swimming pool, when a beat up old Chevy and a mudhole would do?

I'm saying with at least one weapon like an AR... There's 18 million peeps who have one and I'm guessing that they can't all afford a Maserati... It's like having enough TVs in your house but you buy another pretty expensive one to stick in your closet. I'm trying to figure out why, that's all.

What exactly is your point here?

I was smply asking why, if someone already has a hunting rifle and whatever else, what they would need an AR for. Seems to be for no reason at all. Ok....

Does the 2nd amendment say you need a REASON to own a firearm? No. But it does say it's your RIGHT to own one.

So your WHY DO YOU OWN ONE line is irrelevant. It's in the constitution, you know, that... IT'S JUST A PIECE OF PAPER THINGIE you leftist HATE so much.

So 18 million peeps bought an AR because of a piece of paper, lol.

Feel better now?

Almost 18 MILLION AR-15 rifles are still in American hands.

I don't care about that. Just curious though, why does everyone buy an AR-15? You expecting an invasion or something?

Ya might want to check out this thing called the 2nd amendment and its purpose.

I get that, but why buy shit you don't need? I'm sure these people already have hunting rifles and hand guns for self-defense. What's an AR-15 for?

It's funny how you think you can dictate what people need. Hint: You can't.

I wasn't, I was asking why so many peeps feel the need to own one when they already have other guns. That's all.

I saw it as an investment, when Obama became the greatest gun salesman of all time, my .223 went from $700 to over $1,000. Thanks Obama.

No, not at all, seems that you are just a sheep, while the liberal elites in Washington DC are the wolves just waiting for their chance. Why else are they importing Radical Muslims who want to kill US, also bringing in rapists and murderers from South America, who also want to hurt US. You can be the victim, most dumbass liberals are, then they bitch and moan why the FBI, and other corrupt government agencies fail to do their jobs.
