The AR-15 Platform - Cheapest, Most Effective Weapon for Mass Shootings,
Gun Lobbyists and far right Gunloon Politicians


The Constitutionally protected AR-15, also known as "America's Rifle,"
should be in the homes of every American citizen that's not a felon or
a dwarf.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. Fact is, the AR-15-type rifle
is the most popular rifle in America for many reasons. Here are my Top
10 reasons to own an AR-15, in no particular order:

Self-Defense

Gun-banners would have you believe the AR-15 isn’t useful for home
defense, but they couldn’t be more wrong. NRA commentator and former
Navy SEAL Dom Raso, who now trains individuals in self-defense, said
it best: “For the vast majority of the people I work with, there is no
better firearm to defend their homes against realistic threats than an
AR-15 semi-automatic. It’s easy to learn and easy to use. It’s
accurate. It’s reliable.”

Fun/Recreation

If you can find a rifle out there that’s more fun than the AR-15 to
take to the range and punch some holes in paper, I’m not sure what it
would be. From short-range plinking to longer-range precision
shooting, the gun is easy to shoot—and easy to hit targets with. And,
as you know, nothing’s more fun than hitting what you shoot at.

Teaching/Learning

With simple operation and very low recoil, there’s no better rifle to
teach youngsters the skill of accurate rifle shooting. The fact that
shooting this rifle is easy and tons of fun also makes it great for
starting out new shooters, regardless of age. I’ve yet to take a
beginner—young or old—out to shoot an AR-15 without them getting a
huge smile on their face after the first magazine.

Hunting

The AR-15 and its big brother, the AR-10, are excellent hunting
rifles. AR-15s in 5.56/.223 are perfect for varmints and predator
hunting, and with the proper ammunition can make a great deer rifle.
Of course, the AR-15 is also chambered in a number of other more
powerful cartridges for big game, and the .308-chambered AR-10 is a
deer hunting favorite for many. Don’t buy the gun-banner lie that the
AR-15 can’t be a good hunting rifle.

Tinkering

If you like to tinker, the AR-15 is the rifle for you. Aftermarket
parts and upgrades are readily available from hundreds of sources, and
the gun’s easily understandable operation system makes it simple to
work on. If you can’t build one of these rifles on your kitchen table
with just a few specialized tools (legally, of course), you probably
skipped shop class in high school. Installing new stocks, triggers,
hand guards, pistol grips and other parts is also a breeze.

Farm/Ranch Use

The AR-15 is an excellent all-around rifle for farmers and ranchers to
carry in their trucks for predator control or other utilitarian uses.
Excellent accuracy combined with good magazine capacity is enough to
put the hurt on a pack of coyotes preying on calves or lambs—or on
wild hogs tearing up your alfalfa or wheat field. An AR-15 is also
handy for farmers and ranchers to have on hand in remote areas should
they run into those who would do ill to them.Fact is, the AR-15-type
rifle is the most popular rifle in America for many reasons.

Competitive Shooting

The AR-15 platform is excellent for a variety of competitive shooting
sports. As a 3-gun competitor, I see hundreds of people shoot AR-15s
safely and accurately on a regular basis. Banning ownership of
AR-15-type rifles for law-abiding Americans would be devastating to
3-gun—the fastest growing shooting sport in the country right now.

Disaster Preparedness

I’m not someone who believes in an impending doomsday scenario where
we will all find ourselves in a critical survival situation sometime
soon. But I’m also not one who thinks that couldn’t happen. I don’t
see how any survival situation wouldn’t be made better by having an
AR-15 or two on hand. In fact, the AR-15 might just be the perfect
SHTF firearm.

Bringing Women Into Shooting

Women are currently the fastest-growing demographic in the shooting
sports, and the AR-15 is doubtless one of the reasons why. Women love
the “cool factor” of the AR just as much as men do. And those with
zero shooting experience—who might harbor some fear of rifle shooting
because of a rifle’s perceived “kick”—quickly learn that the
soft-recoiling AR-15 is not only a pleasure to shoot, but fun to
customize just the way they want it.

America’s Rifle

As Dom Raso said in his recent video: “I guarantee you, if the
Founding Fathers would have known this gun was going to be invented,
they wouldn’t have rewritten the Second Amendment, they would have
fortified it in stone. Because they knew the only way for us to stay
free is by having whatever guns the bad guys have. This firearm gives
average people the advantage they so desperately need and deserve to
protect their life, liberty and happiness.”

Owning an AR-15 is as uniquely American as baseball, apple pie and the
Second Amendment. It’s a classic example of American exceptionalism,
independence and ingenuity—all the things that make us the land of the
free and home of the brave.

One More Reason

Finally, if none of the above reasons apply to you, get one just to
piss off the leftists and dwarves and antifa who think you should not
be able to own one. Nothing makes them pee their pants in rage than
knowing you have an AR-15 and there's nothing they can do about it.
