AR-15 and AR-308 Family

I am a collector and competitive shooter.  The AR is the basis of many target and hunting guns.  They are not the evil weapons that the media has made them out to be.  They are Semi-automatic and can only fire as fast as the person pulling the trigger.  Although I do own thirty round magazines I very rarely if ever use one.  Most of the time I use a five round magazine which is adequate for my purposes of CMP and NRA highpower matches or for Semi-Auto Benchrest shooting! 

With the talk of banning and confiscation I would stand to lose over forty thousand dollars.  Some of these guns are worth in excess of twenty-five hundred dollars.  There is over three thousand dollars just in competition grade triggers.  So you can understand they will not be given up easily or be traded for hundred dollar gift cards!

The government needs to address the real problem.  People on the street that should be in an institution and not put on drugs and left in the general population!  These types of guns are used in less than one percent of gun related crimes! 

More children in this country are killed by their parents or by drunk drivers than die in firearm related deaths!

I shouldn't even have to mention abortions, which our government and the liberal media tend to ignore!
