Kyle shot this rifle exactly once before the night of August 25th, 2020.

On that night, he shot 8 times. None of those shots struck any of the countless bystanders.

Kyle landed 6 of the 8 shots fired into his intended target, the 2 misses came when he was shooting at an upward angle and a moving target while Kyle was seated on the ground after being struck in the back of the head twice (punch/rock and a skateboard) and while the assailant kicked him in the head.

It shows how good of a platform this weapon is for a dire self defense situation.

I've got the same exact AR-15 model as Kyle.

I'll have to go to the range this weekend to fire it in celebration of JUSTICE.

Oh lawd. Get ready for the "Muh revolver" crowd comes in crying how sensible revolvers are while competing with the shotgun "don't even have to aim" crowd.

What's scary is the people still call it a military-grade weapon like it can do more than a typical Ruger Mini-14 rifle. It's not a God gun

And Kyle showed why you might need a 20+ round capacity.

It's a superior weapon that gives you a chance even in an ambush. They do not want you to own it when the riot comes to your town or when the CDC comes to check your vaccination status

Its almost like every country in the world has handed out rifles for every conflict since the rifle has existed.

The only time you should use anything but a rifle is when you do not have one anymore.

Shotgun with a 20 round drum would've shut the whole street down.

I suspect God was probably guiding his aim. But yes, ARs are pretty bitchin.

Ironically, I have a left handed version which, according to prosecution, doesn’t even exist.

Its obviously a great self defense round. The three people he struck were immediately taken out of action and couldn't follow up on another attack.

I prefer AKs, but the AR will do in a pinch.

A good AR setup for CQB would be / is my first choice.
