Where in the real world are AR-15 and the like are used for good?

Their value is in reducing the intense and debilitating anxiety and paranoia that The Commies and/or Deep State and/or White Replacement Paratroopers will be knocking at your door any minute to send you to a concentration camp owned and operated by George Soros and Hillary Clinton.

MAGA media has done its job well for 30+ years.

8 Times Law-Abiding Citizens Saved Lives With an AR-15​

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that ElmerFudd and Mac1958 see these people letting themselves be killed would be the moral outcome versus using a scary black rifle to defend themselves.

Anywhere in the world when someone uses a rifle to defend themselves, their loved ones, or other citizens from criminals.

Was this supposed to be a tough question?

It is actually common to have a home invader met with a bullet from an AR. They are no different from a bolt action, only difference is that they shoot faster. They're not machine guns though, people act like they are.

What does "AR" mean?

What does "AR" mean?

I don't see why it should make a difference whether an honest citizen has a military grade version or a civilian version, as long as they're trained and are responsible enough not to let weapons get stolen. It's a distinction without a difference.

There are no military-grade ARs. No military in the world fields them.

My understanding is a non-repeating firearm in use like a robbery is preferred because there is less likely to be collateral damage. Maybe one of your own family members could be shot. If you are incompetent with a firearm, an AR-15 will help make sure you don't miss but who knows what else you will hit.

No military grade assault rifles? Since when? And yes, I've read the spin that there is no such thing as military grade weapons. That's bullshit.

The true meaning of the 2nd amendment is citizenry and state militias can have all military grade arms. That reality went away centuries ago. The 2nd amendment's true rights were curtailed a few decades after our Constitution was written. As military weapons progressed, citizens were not allowed to possess.

How exactly does an AR make it less likely you'll miss?
