Happy ‘Here’s some of your rights back’ Day…
The stupid ‘assault weapons’ ban expired today. Time to get the toys that they say were too dangerous for you to have. You know, things like bayonets. Yeah, there was a rash of bayonettings that were solved with stupid laws like that. The law was written by people who didn’t know weapons and had no experience with them. The things they banned were cosmetic only. An AR-15, like mine, is a lot less dangerous than any standard hunting rifle. Would you rather be shot by a standard 30.06 deer rifle or a .223? Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, it may look like what the military uses but that’s where the similarities end. Hell, the military drives Hummers, we allow the ‘common folk’ to drive those. Just because it looks like something the military uses does not mean it functions the same.
Now I can finally add that collapsible stock to my rifle like I’ve wanted for years. Yes, it serves a very sporting purpose. I find the standard length stock to be a bit too long for me. A shorter stock will make things much nicer.
For those that ask why I need one, the answer is, because I want one. That’s all the reason you need. Period.
