The AR-15 – my view

In general, it’s a mistake to use the 2nd Amendment to justify the purchase of military weapons by civilians.

If you believe you need one for self-protection, you have a big ego, are the member of a cartel or gang, or belong in the witness protection program.If you think you need it for hunting, you are no sportsman any more than a fisherman using hand grenades too “catch” fish is a sportsman.Your excitement at shooting such weapons at a firing range does not trump the danger of such weapons out in society where they can easily be the weapon of choice for a crime.

In my view, such weapons should be banned.
