  • Emotional Support Assault Rifles?

    Also, isn’t the M4A1 an improvement on the M16 (which is based on the AR15 platform)?

    I’d argue the M4A1 is a /great/ firearm. Are there other ARs that have better features? Yes. Have I shot an M4A1 in combat? Nope. But I have shot an M4A1. Compared to other rifles I’ve shot (OK this is limited), the M4A1 just feels good to shoot. It’s not painful, it’s pretty damn accurate, and you can add stuff to make it really fit you. It is pretty good for medium, medium-long shooting.

    Also, I don’t know why people buy automatic rifles. It’s not accurate, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re going to cause damage to the gun. Semi-auto single fire/burst is where it’s at because when you fire a gun, you want to hit what you’re intending to hit.

    OK, now the reason I’m replying. If you asked me five years ago if firearms are necessary, I’d have said no. It’s great fun but wholly unnecessary. I have since changed my opinion.

    The federal government is supposed to protect us from tyrannical state governments. The state government is supposed to protect us from tyrannical federal governments through militias. The issue is, a lot of states don’t have an official state militia outside of the National Guard (note: if you’re not authorized by the state you’re not a militia, you’re a terrorist group). With the current federal government taking control of the state militia (national guard) to use against the states, we’re reaching a time where either the state-only militias need to do something because this breaks MANY laws or we actually need to defend ourselves.

    I oppose outright banning AR-15 and derivatives. While they won’t stop a tank from destroying your neighborhood, or a bomber from taking out your neighborhood, they are a deterrent if we start exercising our 2a right against non-uniformed people kidnapping the citizens off the street. I think the states should allow it, and the states should highly regulate these guns.
