Oh look, a person who has zero experience and zero knowledge again talking out his butt.
Your training to tell anyone about the usefulness of an AR on a battlefield is hilarious.I don't know about you specifically, but it's true that the AR15 has gained a purpose now far beyond just any utilitarian considerations (which are indeed few). It has become a symbol of pi$$ing off and "owning" the libs- much like the Confederate flag. It's just that they are really hurting themselves with this one.

No it could not have been a u-haul. No correlation? Firearms have been solely responsible for mass SHOOTINGS.
The left is always looking for an out on the gun issue. I wish they were half as concerned when it comes to crime.
Yea because guns and crime are separate things?
Yet you are protesting against what I posted, how rich is that?
He is one man with one opinion. It seems like the militia clause has everyone stumped as to its meaning. If it has nothing to do with the rest of the second amendment, why is it even mentioned?Supreme Court's 2008 Heller
Writing for the majority in the 5-4 decision, Justice Antonin Scalia, now deceased, said that the Second Amendment "protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
Referring to the so-called militia clause, Scalia added that it "announces a purpose, but does not limit or expand the scope" of individual ownership.

Interesting how you quoted him talking using his use of the M4/16 to imply expertise. I have more use but yet you claim that doesn’t make me an expert. Wonder why you have the double standard.
of course it could have
no
irrelevant. we are talking about the homicide rate.
I am talking about gun deaths and access to guns. Welcome to the conversation, you are trying to ignore gins all together and it is just dumb for you you to do so.
I know. It's irrelevant.
No, I'm pointing out guns are irrelevant to homicide rates. Since we began tracking that data, which was 1986, firearms increased by over 270 million while the homicide rate was cut by 40%. There is simply no correlation between firearms and homicide rates.
So you’re cool with gun deaths because of stats? Head in the sand?
No, i'm refuting the repeatedly bleated premise of "more guns = more deaths". This is demonstrably false.
Never said that either, there are way too many guns already in the US. Make owner’s understand it is a true responsibility and have them continual training. Not much to ask.
You can't require training to exercise a right. That is unconstitutional.
Yet we have people register to vote etc? Well regulated is ignored?
but not required to train.
what is it you think well regulated means, and why do you think it applies to individual gun owners?
The Heller decision was BS lead by the NRA. It needs to go.
Heller was decided the only way it could possibly be decided, based on the wording of the constitution.
Not at all I disagree.
de·mon·stra·bly
Then explain the dissenting opinions. If it was the only way it could be decided it would have been a unanimous decision, no?
