All these gun debates after the recent shootings have me thinking about a few things. I'm merely playing devils advocate here and hoping for a tame discussion. I'm a complete 2A guy and like most on here own more guns than I would ever need but can you actually have too many? I like practical guns and a variety of weapons for different uses and calibers. I am not nor have I ever been an "AR guy, or a suppressor guy or high end gun guy". I'm a practical use gun guy. I'm primarily an archery guy. So take that info for what it is as it pertains to the conversation.
Here's a couple questions;
Who on here had an AR/AK style rifle before 2004?
If you are truly protecting your family in your home from an intruder is the AR the go to weapon?
Besides a real firefight with the Russians or China when they invade or chasing pigs from a helicopter when do you ever use or need a 30round mag?
If the 1994-2004 assault weapon ban was extended to current times and the amount of AR weapons in public was alot less than it is now would we be any less safe in our homes and would we not be able to hunt with say a mini 14 and a 10round mag? I just don't remember seeing tons of AR style weapons before the mid 2000's besides a few old AK47. Seems like majority of AR owners bought their first after 2004. Seemed like we were ok during that time frame.
If someone kicks in my door I'm grabbing a shotgun or pistol. I also can't afford to go to the range and blow thru 5-10 30round mags of 556/223. So if I'm just wanting to shoot I would be just as well off with a small capacity bolt or semi auto rifle or a pistol.
In the case of the Uvalde school shooting and other school shootings in confined space they would have prob been more efficient with a shotgun as well which has never been talked bad about or banned.
Just seems all the focus is always on AR/AK style weapons when honestly I think they have more wow factor than function for the good guys and the bad.
Most people that have bought them buy them and trick them out to look cool or pretty. They rarely use them beside shooting targets at the range and God willing thats all they will ever be used for.
If the 1994 assault weapons ban had never ended I would still be able to hunt and protect my family as well as any time before or after. I can say this completely honest, if that ban was still in place not much in my life would be different except my bank account.
Whats yalls thoughts? Remember no flaming me or others, just curious how most feel about them.
