I live abroad where its not easy to own a gun, but when I visit the US (my home), I try to get some range time in.
The last time I was in Colorado, I went to a range and hired an AR15 -- great fun.
The fellow behind the counter who issued the rilfe very kindly showed me how it worked and how it was different from a hunting
rifle -- the cocking handle instead of a bolt, the ejection port flap, etc.
I let him tell me all about it, and refrained some saying I had fired several thousand rounds through its granddaddy, the M16,
long ago, all paid for by Uncle Sam.
My nephew lives in Priest Lake, Idaho, and the last time I visited him, with my English wife's grandchilden, they
got to fire his AR, and his Glock. They loved it.
Firearms are great fun, and you can sometimes convert an anti-gunner by taking them to a firing range and letting them
use your weapons.
Liberals should understand that firearms were a huge advance for the 'little guy', whom they believe they champion. It
made the ordinary peasant the equal of the well-armed knight on horseback. No wonder the Japanese samurai banned them.
Every patriot should own at least three firearms: a concealable handgun, a shotgun, and an AR15 -- with at least half a dozen
magazines for the latter and at least two thousand rounds of ammunition. In a close-quarters home defense situation against
criminals, you can use a shotgun without worrying that your rounds will carry 800 meters and kill a neighbor. The handgun is
of course for concealed carry.
But were the US -- God forbid -- ever to descend into civil war, the AR15 is the choice -- we need to standardize on a weapon, and
it seems to be, as the advertisers say, "America's Rifle".
