AR-15s

[xoxoxoBruce]

Why do 5 million Americans own AR-15s, a military automatic assault rifle made only for killing humans and other living things. This short article does not attempt to change the minds of people who are against gun ownership, but it does a good job of explaining why AR-15's have been the choice of 5 million people other than short penises and delusions of grandeur.

No, this article is for the genuinely curious — those who assume that 5 million of their fellow Americans are not inhuman or insane, and who want to understand what set of rationales, no matter how flawed and confused they may ultimately turn out to be, could make an otherwise normal person walk out of a gun store with an “assault weapon.”

By the end of this piece, you probably still will not believe that I or any other civilian actually needs an AR-15. That’s fine. My only hope is that you’ll go forth better equipped to talk about gun control based on an understanding of how real live people view and use these firearms.
