re: The justification for owning tatical weaponry

That’s pretty much one of the only types of weapons that military uses that civlallins can buy without special permits, licenses, tax stamps, etc...

I'll bite if your knowledgeable enough to acknowledge that a .223 AR15 is not a "military grade weapon".

I really think you mistake me for the anti-gun crowd.

I don’t care what you call it, what I care about is where you think the line is.

FFS. You have no clue what you’re talking about. I’m willing to bet you couldn’t tell the difference between a 5.56 round and a .22 round.

Because a Ruger Mini 14 and an AR shoot the same ammunition and are both semi automatic rifles. But one makes you nervous because it looks “scary.”

If it made a high pitched noise and looked like Pelosi Galore it could run for Congress as a Democrat.

ust interested in hearing the pros and cons in arguments for owning tatical weapons. All military grade weapons are up for discussion. Should private citizens be allowed to own military grade weapons?

My AR is not military grade. It is a simple semiautomatic rifle that has a 30 round clip.
A Military Grade Weapon would have a selector switch which would allow it to operate as a semiautomatic or as a repeat fire in either/or burst mode and fully automatic.
The AR platform simply allows you to quickly change out accessories such as flashlights, sights, optics or laser pointers/rangefinders. This makes it easy to customize.

The round most common for the AR platform is the 5.56x45mm and/or .223 Rem.
It is a relatively small round that has little use as a large game hunting caliber.
It’s best characteristic is it’s high speed flat trajectory and low weight but it is not the choice for large game. There are many semiautomatic rifles that fire a much more powerful round that will cause much greater damage.
The AR is demonized by those that are completely ignorant of firearms and want to create a boogie man to scare the masses to create an environment indicative to gun confiscation for political gain.

Actually an AR fires in an arc.

Not very flat.

Is there a military that actually equips their forces with AR-15s?

I handle would handle that with my 870.

Highly effective.
