Hawkins on Breitbart made a very interesting observation... As televisions and computers showed a fourth day of protesters turned rioters Saturday, looting and destroying property, it was readily apparent why Americans own 16+ million AR-15s. When Robert ‘Beto’ O’Rourke was still vying for the Democrat nomination–and pledging to come take away your AR-15–Breitbart News spoke with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) about what a Herculean task that would be. After all, the AR-15 is the most popular rifle platform in America. NSSF shared their calculations with Breitbart, showing an estimated 16= million privately owned AR-15s in the U.S. You cannot be blamed if you thought the number was closer to 250 or 300. Moreover, you cannot be blamed if you thought the 300 AR-15 owners were toothless, old, white, racists living on some isolated, off-the-grid piece of property deep in the heart of the South. But as it turns out, AR-15s are owned by black people and white people, and by all skin colors in between. And there are WAY MORE than a couple hundred in circulation. On August 31, 2018, Breitbart News reported more than nine million AR-15s were manufactured for sale in the U.S. under Barack Obama alone. And on May 30, 2020–at the height of the Minneapolis rioting–Breitbart News reported on black business owners standing guard with AR-15s outside their properties. And AR-15s are not just for men. On November 4, 2019, Breitbart News reported on a pregnant Florida woman who used an AR-15 to kill an alleged home intruder while her husband was under attack. So when Joe Biden and other Democrats demonize AR-15s as “assault weapons” and campaign on taking them from the American people or at least ending their sales, remember the feelings you have right now; the feelings of wanting a tool you can keep in your house to protect your family in times of civil violence and unrest. And also remember those black business owners and that pregnant Florida woman, who saved her husband’s life. Again, there are over 16 million privately-owned AR-15s in this country and after last night–after watching the wanton destruction and violence in city after city–perhaps you better understand why Americans own them. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...t-we-saw-why-americans-own-16-million-ar-15s/
because thug cops will let protesters storm state capitols w/them as opposed to cracking heads for holding up traffic w/water bottles?
Amazing that leftards don’t understand the difference between protest and violent destructive looting. leftards are retarded.
Just know with absolute certainty that when you watch the animals looting rioting destroying - they are ALL Democrats. Every Single One Of Them. Granted most don’t vote...but if they did - Demtards.
The AR15 is a decent weapon but not safe for home defense, because rounds can go through walls and strike innocents in next door houses... ask any cop. I prefer my tactical Remington 12ga pump or my glock 40cal or sig226 9mm (used by swat & navy seals). I'm not a gun nut but I'm very well armed and experienced. The biggest danger is untrained panicked people buying guns without training causing ads, accidental discharges. Being armed to protect family is essential nowadays, if a lethal threat is kicking down your front door 911 is not going to help in time. I also like and have installed the door club
I have a new AR but its not what I pick up in a defense situation. I grab my 870 loaded with 1 shot rice, 1 shot corn, then 2 bird shot then 2 magnum buck shot and 2 magnum slugs. If all that doesn't solve my problem I'm grabbing my M1A with iron sights and a big bag of mags lol.
Which is why I get a good chuckle when I hear these nitwits say, when we're done burning this place we're coming to your place. Sure ya are kid. Come on out to the suburbs and you'll find a very different response. If you're really feeling froggy head out a bit further into rural America. They'll have a little party for you.
