Some people act like its a bad thing to be prepared to defend your life and liberty no matter what would ever happen.

Why not own good firearms and know how to run them?

Jnyrd, AR's don't fit my style of hunting either, I'm a bolt guy. However, I wouldn't mind owning one, those things are fun to shoot!

Got that right. For someone that “doesn’t care”, he sure acts like it. Let him deal with armed intruders with his bolt action rifle, that’s all anyone needs anyway,,,,well, unless they want to win LOL


ARs definitely have their place. It’s ridiculous how many grown adults are scared of them. They’re just a rifle! The dang Va Tech shooter murdered nearly twice as many people as the Florida dipstick, and he used a 9 mm pistol. I don’t hear cries about “no one needs a 9mm”, well, at least not yet. I guess that’s next

ANOTHER point you guys talk about how accurate they are . Then answer this why is it that LOTS of the shows on tv that are shooting Ar style have gone to a bolt action vs the semi auto.??? (fox pro fur takers, most hunting shows)



Quoted myself to say one last thing . WHOA slow down !!! I'm just saying that SIG and colt and other gun companies need to stop running these commercials if THEY don't want Bernie and his clan to think that all they are good for is killing people......

Sorry if you guys think I want to ban them. NOT AT ALL. I don't have any use for them and have hunted and killed everything except an elk that is legal in Ky to shoot.
Just saying something is coming and you better get ready.

The 2A is not about hunting. Or pingpong. Even not about how long one should boil a bloody egg. Its about future and liberty. You can swap those two words around at will. But if anyone ever meets me on my boat and stars about the things you can and can not have because of the 2A. ....... Well you better know how to swim back to shore.

Sorry I went media on you . LOL Didn't have all the facts. TICKLED your Dad found a way to enjoy hunting again !!!!!!!

By the by, while the other side is trying to figure out what restroom to use............. well I put some led down range nearly every week just to keep my eye in. Same as a lot of us I am guessing.

Aix , My bolt guns are locked in a safe. Intruders in my house would be on the end of one of 3 12 gauge pumps located around the house or one of 2 pistols in the other rooms....

Just saying . Don't think most guys would go for their AR if they where stopping an intruder. Heck the guys I know keep them locked in safes just like I do my bolt actions.....

We all need to stick together weather you like an AR or not, today the ar tomorrow it will be a slingshot they won't be happy until they have total control.

there was a trainer a while back he took a pro shotgun competitor on a pump gun and a lady who had come to him with little to no training and had taken some classes but by no means a pro competitor on a AR.

they went 10 rounds on a target , that was the most the shotgun could hold , she beat him for speed same number of rounds on target neither had to reload.

when you can train up a person in a matter of hours to put rounds on target faster than a pro competitor , it seems like a very useful tool for women everywhere to have.

if you use the right ammo the test show not penetrating the second typical wall that would be 2 sheets of drywall on 2x4 studs because it fragments when it hits the first wall , still lethal immediately on the other side but the tumbling pieces across a 10 foot room get caught in the second wall

my go to long gun is the AR I don't leave guns loaded other than the pistol I am carrying so if I need to grab some thing the pistol would be first but the AR is second because I keep it with the mag handy , the AR has a light mounted on it and iron sights the short range aperture is left up all the time so it is like a ghost ring sight.


the second amendment is about a well regulated militia , a properly functioning , well practiced and well disciplined armed citizenry.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

GREENCOUNTYPETE, that large aperture is a low light aperture! At least that was what the Army told me when they trained me, I always keep my AR handy with multiple mags in a pouch ready to grab with a light. I don't use holo sights or anything on my home defense setup just because it is one more thing to worry about.

Marty, that video makes me want to go out and shoot, I have considered trying the 3 gun challenge but I need to setup a shotgun for it, I have a .45 and plenty of ARs, I think I would prefer the .308 with iron sights class, seems more challenging but it ALL looks like fun.

I have shot IPPSC and CowBoy Action competitions, I can tell you that an experienced shooter using 1900s guns can be just as fast as the new stuff but it is the reloading that slows you down lol, mostly the handguns, a practiced lever gun and shotgun shooter can seem as if they never empty their guns. My old 97 Winchester shotgun was easy to keep shooting without ever loading the tube magazine. (I am slow as heck today though, haven't shot a competition for quite a while lol).

I sure like my little Rock River Arms .556 . I can keep it on target and keep squeezing off and it doesn't hardly kick, and the target doesn't leave my scope view . No wonder folks like them.

In the military I shot lots of bullets with the m16 and yes like the ar15 the recoil is amazing. They are great guns.

I prefer wooden stock bolt actions. I actually prefer the heavier weight of the older guns.

Like mentioned before we all can choice our own preferences to what guns we like but we all share a common goal to keep our 2nd amendment in tact.

I would say what gives the ar15 a bad rep as really it is only just another semi auto but these guns have been exposed to society in a different way.

The ar15 changed the perception of guns with its faster shooting and bigger magazines capacities. More people building them and looking more like military assault weapons.

But yet these guns we know are no more dangerous than the old ones as it still takes someone to pull the trigger. If the current laws were enforced it would of prevented lot of crazy people from using these guns giving them a bad rep.

I don't have any ar15 but I hope they stick around as I think they have thier place in the market. Maybe someday I will give up my old ways and get one.

Like 330trapper said its a generation thing.
