AR15S arent assault weapons either.FYI, they are not potato chips.

But do you have or did you have (before the accident) a boat?
Well then, put it this way. The storm came out of nowhere, so the boat was tragically lost, and if it wasn't for that dolphin helping me to shore, I would have been lost too.LOL.
Retired so it does not matter but since you asked , I was with the Border Patrol, Customs Patrol, Customs Office of Investigations & Homeland Security Investigations and had temporary assignments to the Secret Service and Federal Air Marshals - always border related and never was with ATF/BATFE. I promise, really, I am retired.
So true. The Constitutional illiteracy among low-information voters is quite high as seen during the talk/marches when the leaked Supreme Court possible decision about Roe vs Wade. So many think that overturning that 1973 ruling will ban it nation wide instead of returning abortion law to the States per 10th Amendment.The failure to comprehend the 2nd Amendment runs deep!
I wonder if the Founding Fathers felt obligated to explain why they had guns?
Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh run forest ahhhhhhhhLOL.

That would do it .I tell them I'm Jewish and have an Uzi instead.
Okay, here I go again!!! Years ago I went prairie dog hunting for the first time with a friend. I scrambled to get a .223 Rem barrel for my T/C Encore, which I bought with the .50 cal barrel. I ordered a Bergara, which took too long to come, so I cancelled that and ordered the bull barrel from T/C, a dealer, actually. A few years ago, after having a very fine trigger job done on the Encore, I got my best one shot kill with that rifle at 466 yards. In the meantime, my friend finally talked me into a black rifle. You see, I had one jam on me at MCRD in San Diego back in 1975, and ever since I never really thought much of them. My friend and I would have that conversation, and he would always end it by saying "ya know, they've come a long way in 40 years...." So one night I'm perusing Gun Broker and I spy two Ruger SR556 VT's, one of which was about an hour away from my office. As I'm drooling over that, my wife comes down the stairs, and before I notice her, she's right beside me, looking at the screen and asking what I'm doing. I replied that I had been thinking about one of these rifles for a couple years, and that it would be great for prairie dog hunting. She said "Well, you haven't bought a gun for a while, maybe you should get one!" Being a shameless opportunist, I hit "Buy It Now" and sent a message to the seller saying that my office was an hour away and I would see him in the AM!!! I brought along a scope I had for it, they had the mounts & such at the shop, so I paid the man and off I went. I could go on about what a great purchase that was, once I got the trigger figured out {bought a Giessele 2 stage enhanced, actually from Brownell's, # BG-E}. The trigger it came with was what I call a "three stage". There was the first take up, kinda like a two stage, but then there was this weird "twilight zone" stage, and then the let off stage. I even sent it back to Ruger, but I think they're too worried about litigation to get the trigger right. The first year I took that out for the dogs I ended up having to go back into Mobridge for more ammo. It kinda went through it faster than the Encore. Now the comment from my buddy was "Ya know ya gotta let the barrel cool down!!!" I had two mounds with maybe a dozen dogs on each, the young ones that are dumb enough to hang around when the shooting starts, and I just started on one side and worked my way across, watching the V-Max bullets do their thing as the dogs flew out of the scope!!!If asked why I WANT an AR-15 I would simply reply 'why do you ask the question?' It is none of their business, etc.
But if you want of provide a more informed reply take a listen to this video from two well informed gun guys; Ken Hackathorn and Massad Ayoob talk about the parallels between the development of personal defense and law enforcement weapons, and why the AR-15 is an entirely appropriate weapon for defending your home.
And for another take try this blog post on Red State why some folks really do NEED an AR-15 pattern rifle.
