Rice said weapons like the AR-15...shouldn’t be available to civilian>>>>>>>>>
AR-15s are not available to civilians.
legal civilian semi automatic versions of the AR-15, called CAR-15s are available to civilians and off duty military people.The AR-15 has 3 select fire options: single shot, 3 round burst, or fully automatic ( machine gun). The CAR-15 is a semi- automatic: One shot with 1 trigger pull.It is NOT a military weapon.
Now why is Condoliza Rice lying about the facts?
Propaganda is coming form Rice?
The Disarming of America will never happen. This is not about guns, its about protection. The fact that Rice and the left are making this about “guns” assures one outcome: THERE WILL BE NO PROTECTION.
People like Rice need to give up their vaunted ideology, cast their eyes to history, and let America arrange for the protection of the young,old, sick, infirm and unborn. America is good at that and has been since 1770.
If not, Rice will go into the Trash Bin of history, where she belongs.Why? Bullets are not politically correct, neither is death. So the time is coming when every American has to decide what side they are on: Life or Death.
Rice has chosen Death.
President Trump and the NRA choose Life.And so do I.And so will America.
I agree with your sentiments, but you got your facts a bit scrambled. The AR-15 IS the civilian version of the select-fire military rifle...which was originally the M-16, and is now the M-4. I have an AR (which I often think means A$$hole Remover), and didn’t need to do anything else but put down some money to obtain.
“...AR-15s are not available to civilians. ...” [Candor7, post 70]
Wrong.
Lots of imprecise nomenclature here.
“AR-15” was the original ArmaLite nomenclature for a select-fire rifle in 5.56mm, designed by a team after Eugene Stoner left the company (first, he designed the AR-10 for them).
Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company apparently bought the name rights when they acquired a license to produce the smaller arm. They stamped “AR-15” on the first semi-only clone they began turning out in the 1960s. Its official company name was SP-1.
“CAR” and “AR-15” have been applied with a great deal of sloppiness to various configurations of the basic arm, courtesy of gunwriters, self-styled experts, popular parlance, and spox for the military establishment. Most have been developmental items for military and law enforcement, and were select-fire. But no other manufacturer calls their AR-15-style rifles “AR-15.” Colt’s has also applied a great many multi-digit model numbers to variants.
No AR-15 has been equipped with the three-round burst mechanism. It was introduced into military service when the M16A2 was designated the official US rifle by DoD in the 1980s.
