That's military conscription. They issue the guns in the course of basic training, and then they take them back. U.S. military boots, military uniforms, military jackets, even military ammo, all widely available as U.S. military surplus -- but no, the Democrats will not allow combat rifles of the sort issued to private first class rank infantry to fall into the hands of private individuals or citizens outside the military.
And they shouldn't. AN AR-15 is an Armalite Rifle, and by definition it can be operated in a fully automatic mode:
The “
AR” in “
AR-
15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “
AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.”
AR-
15-style rifles are NOT “assault weapons” or “assault rifles.” An assault rifle is fully automatic, a machine gun.
The rifles that the public can legally posse are NOT an Armalite Rifle

AR15's aren't military weapons they aren't issued by the military but can be used effectively
Whether the military uses them or not is irrelevant. It's a killing machine either way.
No...it isn't. It is a weapon meant to save the life of the user.
Firearms don't "save" lives, Dumbass. They TAKE them.
It depends on how you look at it. I will gladly take a life to save my own.
And if you do ---- you still took a life. Ain't no way around that.
You said they don't save lives. That is an incorrect statement.
Kindly figure out what you are trying to say, but YOU ARE NOT TAKING MY WEAPONS. NO!
Hey feel free to join Bike-Boi in his hapless quest to find anywhere I've ever said anything about "taking" anybody's weapons. And when you come to the inevitable conclusion that it doesn't exist, learn how to read.
Oh and by the way I've already noted, from the beginning here, that I have no interest in weapons, yours or anyone else's including purchases or giveaways. In other words not only do I not want to take your guns, you literally couldn't PAY me to do it.
Yes I said they don't save lives -- they end them. That's the whole point of war technology. Of course if you can show me that time a speeding bullet jumped in front of the terrorizing car and diverted it to save those babies, I'll change my mind.
You are a dumb ass.....guns save more lives in the United States each year than they take when criminals use them illegally.....

A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....
The name of the group doing the study, the year of the study, the number of defensive gun uses and if police and military defensive gun uses are included.....notice the bill clinton and obama defensive gun use research is highlighted.....
