Debating the AR-15

The following debate originally took place on the Facebook wall of family…

Zayvier B.: This isn’t meant to spark any sort of mass argument, but only to expand a field of view. You cannot deny the use of the AR-15 as the primary weapon of more than half of our nation’s mass showings. With that being said, I want someone to tell me a use that only can come from an AR-15 that would demand it be kept in the homes of citizenry, and is a use ONLY the AR can fulfill

RaynReturning fire at one of these mass shooters you mention? As you said yourself, “[y]ou cannot deny the use of an AR-15 as the primary weapon in more than half of” these types of attacks.

Zayvier B.: Wrong, an AR isn’t the sole item that could be used to deter or defeat a shooter.

Rayn: I said “returning fire,” not “deter,” nor “defeat,” and I meant it in the most literal sense, imaginable…

Zayvier B.: I understand that, but my point was to state what makes the AR something so important and gives it a quality only it has. Any firearm could be used to return fire at any kind of assailant

RaynThen, my question is this: as an innocent human being (also, never charged with domestic violence, nor any felony) that would be engaging in peaceful activity (meaning that there is no actual victim) if I seek to obtain the firearm of my choice, what gives anyone else, but me, jurisdiction over my actions? Why am I to be restricted, so as not to have the exact weapon to defend myself that the criminal easily has at his disposal? Truly, “what makes the AR something so important” that I can’t use one to defend against one?

Utopian Delusions and Historical Illiteracy Fuel the Goals of Gun Control Advocates

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Liberty Hangout,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Never forget. On February 19, 1942, the President of the United States authorized our government to incarcerate Americans simply because they looked like the enemy. More than 110,000 American citizens and immigrants of Japanese ancestry were forced to give up their homes, businesses, and ways of life. It was one of the worst civil liberties disasters. #DayofRemembrance | DayofRemembrance.org

My Commentary: “No one needs an AR-15, nor a 30-round magazine!”

Keep clinging to your Utopian delusions, and the historical illiteracy that fuels it, Statist!

Ha! I hope this makes some liberal heads explode! Too bad this club is located in Dallas!

I can hear the leftists, already… “But, it’s more ‘moral’ to be executed by police then to defend yourself against them! They’re just doing their job! What if we all fought back against executions? What would happen, then? Do you LIKE chaos?”

Brian J.: I don’t know a lot of leftists that would be against this. It tends to be conservatives that would be against.

John T.: This is a joke, did you see the video? Right hands up! They look confused.

(Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Reason) In Texas, blacks are protesting police violence in a particularly Southwestern way: By invoking their right to open carry. On Wednesday, more than 30 membersof the newly-formed Huey P. Newton Gun Club gathered to march through South Dallas with rifles, shotguns, and AR-15s. The group eventually entered a restaurant with their weapons while Dallas police officers were inside eating lunch.

“The recent murders of unarmed black, brown, and whites across the United States of America has eradicated trust in the police,” the gun club’s website states.
