Your words are the product of the mass propaganda campaign foisted upon our society by the people who are trying to ruin it and take it over.How many defensive shooting classes have you taken with your .40? How many have you taken with a defensive shotgun or AR? I mean you no insult, but your comments tell me that you've done neither. The AR is a very effective home defense gun if used correctly. Much more effective than any hand gun, and much less likely to miss, or over penetrate. You handgun ammo is going to go through several walls. The .223 or .556 rounds are likely to be stopped in the first wall. This is a matter of life and death for everyone on the other side of bad guy you are shooting at.No one is going to spray into a crowd with a handgun or an AR. When has this ever happened with the gun in the hands of a good guy?The gun in the pic is not an "automatic rifle". Its semi-auto. Not semantics. Its a very important difference and the media wants you confused about it. This is not a weapon of war. Have you ever shot one? It is a tool designed to throw lead projectiles down range reliably and accurately. How it is used, or misused, is entirely up to the person holding it. There are much more dangerous guns available for sale out there, but the media wants you to think that these scary looking guns with the black plastic parts are only for killing masses of innocent victims. Its total BS. It is a terrible LIE. Don't buy it, and please don't repeat it for them and help them spread their lies. ARs are a hell of a lot of fun to shoot and they can be effective tools for just about any shooting task from hunting, to target shooting, paper punching, to pest control. My 12 year old daughter has her very own. Its pink cammo. She shoots it carefully, responsibly and always with a big smile.I'm totally fine with you choosing whatever weapons you want for whatever defensive purposes you want, buy I respectfully ask that you don't try to choose for me or spread misinformation reported by a biased media with an evil agenda. If you ever make it out this way, I'm personally inviting you and yours to my private range for a day of fun and an introduction to the fun that can be had with a properly used AR.</blockquote>
