For over 5 years now, I've had a question that has yet to been answered.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Why exactly should I care if someone who wants an AR-15 can't legally buy one?

Since the immediate aftermath of Sandy Hook and watching people line up at gun shops and gun shows to buy that one particular weapon, that question has been burning on my mind and no one I've spoken with has ever given me a logical answer.

Why should I care about the well-being of a semi-automatic assault rifle being marketed to and sold to civilians? What exactly is the loss to society if such a weapon is no longer available?

I just honestly don't get it for the life of me.

1. I don't either...and the second amendment does not give anyone the right to an AR 15.

9. Wolverines!

Makes a man (or woman) feel alive to be mowing down targets with a semi-auto firearm.
With an AR-15 or semi-auto high capacity pistol, they can take on the Ruskies, or the North Koreans, or the Liberal Snowflake Brigade that's parachuting into their neighborhoods, closing down the churches and liquor stores, and forcing people to raise chickens in their backyards, recycle, gay marry and become gluten-free Vegans or some other such nonsense.
Because you know that's part of the master plan

4. Well I don't think there is any imperative that you do care

or be upset by it.

Unfortunately, it's the people that DO care about AR-15s, that keep demanding access to them, and paying the NRA to lobby for them.

5. Same can be asked about oversized magazines

If you want to shoot more than 8 or 9 in a row, change the clip.

Target practice is one at a time and rapid fire will only cause accuracy to deteriorate.

6. Next you're gonna tell me I can't own slaves? Or that women should have the right to vote?

Hell, what about my right to drive drunk?

You know damned well gun regulations are a slippery slope until we lose *ALL* our God-given rights.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Why should you care about slaves?

I mean, they're only 3/5ths of a person, after all.

[Iggo]

7. You shouldn't. I don't.

The minute they care more about dead school kids than their precious death sticks is the minute I'll start to care.

[gratuitous]

10. Why should you care?

You shouldn't.

I hope that satisfies your morbid curiosity.

11. Fact someone wants one, or more, is proof enough they shouldn't own guns.

12. You'll get your answer when grizzly bears attack a school when you're there.

Then you'll wish that some freedom-loving Americans with a private arsenal were there to defend you.
