You should upgrade the lethality with a flash suppressor and pistol grip too. Almost no force short of a super volcano could stop you with that kind of power in your hands.
They don’t care what AR’s are used for. The object is illegality, confiscation, mass murder and mass imprisonment.
It’s hard to have absolute power over people that can shoot you from 500m even while you are surrounded by a platoon or armed security.
I oppose banning ARs and other so-called assault weapons, but is it really the case that our soldiers would be at the mercy of every other army in the world if they had civilian AR-15s? Yes, I know that military rifles have a full-auto setting, but as I understand it from talking to a friend who serves in the Army, our guys almost never use the full auto setting in combat because it’s wasteful and less accurate.
Maybe the author was speaking of other differences.
what makes the so much more lethal is the dreaded “barrel shroud”. I hear it’s also responsible for global warming.
I understand that. But I’d bet any mushroomed .223 round would still go through a deer.
PA you can use .223 for deer? That’s unusual.
“...I never much cared for them, prefer an M1 or M14....”
Don’t worry...she hates those too.

I thought of that, but I already had a collapsable stock and a sling.
If I put all that on that I thought everyone would think I was too “Ramboish” and scare people off the shooting range......
I am shooting FMJs already and everyone knows they made a movie about those.
Yup. The Brits in the Falklands war used only FN-FAL semi auto version against the Argies FN-FAL with full auto capability. We know how that turned out.
Line of the article:
In fact, they are semi-automatic firearms that are designed and built not for the military, but for the civilian market and function differently than their military counterparts. Were our soldiers outfitted with ARs, they would be at the mercy of every army in the world.
No, their purpose is for fighting, which is why they are so devastating when the only person armed with one is a spree killer.
Only those who fear a fight from law abiding people don't want law abiding people to have them.
Pardon my ignorant question but I have only seen the AR’s sold in NJ..They have a selector for “safe” and “semi” only. Is that the same in all other states, only the semi-auto version can be sold?
Kids in a closed environment setting up close could have been killed with a slingshot. Don’t kid yourself.
Sound wisdom! Besides, if you put all of those accessories on you would complete the synaptic circuits and your AR would start thinking and plotting all by itself.
***I never much cared for them, prefer an M1 or M14.***
If Winchester had gotten the contract instead of COLT, back in the 1960s, the 5.56 mm it would look like a M1 carbine.
That is correct. Full auto is basically for getting your a$$ out of seriously deep yogurt.
Arkansas does an I think Texas also does allow it.
If you're talking off the rack sales, and not 10 or 12 thousand dollar transfers from a pre-1986 private owner, yes: that is correct.
