I waffle on this issue Recon. I own multiple AR's, handguns, shotguns, etc..... But I think right now AR's are a problem, they're thegun of choice for mass shootings. Why do you think they're not?
I don't want to see Americans disarmed, but that doesn't mean we should simply let Americans own whatever they please. Its just not safe IMO. I think we live in a day and age where owning guns no longer is what protects our liberties. Our police officers and military are armed to the hilt, AR-15's wouldn't protect us from them if they decided to commit genocide. I think its false sense of security to believe armed citizens actually protect liberties.
50-100 years ago, maybe even further back I believe it was more important because gun and ammunition technology hadn't exploded, now our guns aren't on par with police and military weapons.
Just my random, jumbled thoughts
