The AR is gone!!!
My Older brother made a very wise decision almost a month ago when he walked into a local sporting goods store and walked out with a new Smith & Wesson M&P AR15. It seemed like a dumb idea to me at the time, but I supported him in making his choice. At the time the rifle was for nothing more than sport/protection, but now it's almost become an investment.
AR style rifles, and rifles with high capacity clips have all but disappeared. Everyone wants one thanks to the new threat we gun owners face.
The events that took place at Sandy Brook have once again brought the AR under fire, and unfortunately common sense will be overshadowed by a government too quick to disarm it's citizens and laws will change, and not in favor of the second amendment. We face a tough road ahead as gun owners and supporters of the second amendment.
My heart aches for the families affected by gun violence, but it aches no less when the weapon is changed. An inadament object will be blamed again for something it couldn't do on it's own.
Using Sandy Brook as an example of why we don't need AR rifles is flawed, the truth of the matter is that it really didn't depend on the weapon that Adam Lanza was armed with, he would have and could have accomplished as much harm with a gas tank and a lighter. His mental state drove him to accomplish evil, not an AR Rifle.
Drugs run rampant through American cities, regardless of the laws in place.
Don't make me a criminal by changing a law that was put in place for my own protection.
Evil flourishes when innocence is unarmed.
Support the NRA and the second amendment fight.

Johnny,
It appears it will be a good investment. There were a lot of common sense items in the NRA press release.It is a shame that there truly are monsters among us but none of them are inanimate objects. Donnies guns have been put up for years, he does not hunt any longer. I have never seen one of them get up and do anything under it's own power

The whole situation is a mess and I think the real issue is not guns at all but the state of mental health in our country. I don't want to get political so I will just say that guns are part of the American landscape. I do support a citizens right to bear arms.

We are being desensitized to the things we need to be sensitive with, and we our overreacting to nonsense.
The gentleman I spoke to told me that they had 350 ARs and all of them were sold. I believe him because I watched as the shelves were stocked, and emptied, only to be stocked again, now there are no more guns to put on the shelf.
I have very limited experience with an AR, but it doesn't take much to figure out that this weapon is safe and reliable when in good hands.

Johnny I hear you loud and clear and agree 100%.In my neck of the woods they asked inmates at our prisons what were they most afraid of when breaking in to homes. The common answer was old MFs with their shotguns. In my area we step up and keep the piece in our neighborhoods and schools by being up close and personal,day and night. Talk is not enough.

Guy.
I have the same type of neighborhood. Older folks that are home, military guys that are paying attention and families that have lived here for YEARS. We pay attention, if there is someone that doesn't look like they should be there we stop and ask them politely, can I help you find something in our neighborhood? Word gets out quick in a neighborhood like this
