I'm a member of Pro Gun Rights. lol I am also a member of Gun Control Now.

I like hearing both sides of the story. Sometimes I post the exact article on both groups just to see what people from either of the sides have to say. I myself am middle of the road.

@TheGreatShadow I have been on both sides so to speak. Growing up and in my teens I was raised in a diehard liberal Democrat household, and once I learned about the other side I turned my back on the political left. There is no middle road when it comes to rights, and I strongly think no other human being has a right to regulate what I do in life and what I own, provided I do not seek to cause harm to others (which I don't). Most of those who I interact with on here are well aware of the fact that when it comes to overall politics I lean Libertarian, as I don't care for either extreme. Politics you could meet in the middle, not exactly so when dealing with rights, at least in my opinion anyway. As for me, I'm for the most part done with the anti gun rights crowd, I grew up with their propaganda and I know they are full of it, so I consider it a waste of time in debating them.

@TheGreatShadow I forgot I had mentioned above about being Libertarian, pardon the repeat.

@SpikeTalon It's sad that most of the people that want to ban a firearm of any type have never fired one, or probably ever been around one. I'm sure you've watched the video of some guy firing an AR-15. He claimed that it kicked so hard and he got PTSD. Pussy. It's a high powered 22.

On the other hand, there is not any realistic reason for a civilian to be able to fire 30 rounds in about 4 seconds. I own one, but can't really justify owning it. I flat out just wanted it. If you are that bad of a shot, you need to spend more time at the range. Varmints I will use a 22 LR or .223. Big game 30-06 or 30-30. I usually use a bolt rifle for that tho. 4 rds in the mag. I only need one or two on a bad day.

@TheGreatShadow There are quite a few things in life that people don't need or could justify owning, but they own certain things regardless. In a free society I don't owe anyone justification for owning certain things as it's no one's business what I own, so long as I'm not a threat to anyone or myself. The justification business is political correctness in my opinion, and I don't buy into it. If government workers/military own certain types of guns I should be able to own the same thing, why should they get special privilege due to their careers? If someone has the required funds and space to store such, I think they should be able to own a missile if they want one. Why do we only trust certain people with things like that? Some things perhaps never should have come into existence, but they exist regardless and it's futile to wish otherwise. With that said, I'll give you one good reason to own an AR-15, and only one reason would be necessary. If you find yourself against multiple enemies or home invaders and reloading right away might not be preferential. Remember, in real world shooting scenarios those extra rounds in the magazine could come in handy, as your enemies will not be waiting around for you to shoot them, please keep that in mind.

@SpikeTalon The thing with home invasions is that the last article I read said the average rounds fired for an invasion was 5.6. You're not going to need a 150 rd drum, or a belt fed upper. If you need more than 10 rds, you probably need to stop pissing people off. Most home invasions are someone you know, and possiblly someone that has been in your house at one point. They will know when you sleep, when you got to work, where you have whatever it is they want to steal. Usually not some random crack head.

@TheGreatShadow The thing with that is articles like that have exceptions and do not apply to everyone in all possible situations. In my above comment, I was referring to a typical 30 round magazine for an AR-15, not 100+ round or belt fed as you brought up.
