No doubt this reminder is redundant on this forum, but ... just in case .... now is the time to get that AR15 if you don't have one. Plus 2000 rounds of ammunition and a dozen magazines. An early Christmas present to yourself.  And what about other members of your family?

Because ... this is just the beginning.

Strongly disagree. An AR15 is not a gun for everyone especially someone that doesn't know guns and how to use them. They are not plug and play. I don't disagree with being armed for your protection BUT you also need to be educated about that responsibility.

Well said.

Yeah, I've  never been a fan of the 223, I prefer a round that makes certain they knew they were hit. I have plenty of rifles and pistols, but my go to is my Mossberg 12ga, I want them to look down and see a big ass hole!

I have an AR.   And I have handled one and shot it and that's how I knew I wanted one.   As far as practice goes....I don't think there is anything more deadly than a woman with NO training intent on putting a hole in you if you even look at her kids.
Think about it.

I carried an M-16, full auto, but even then, I'd have preferred a shotgun. The M-16 was designed to maim, take out one enemy, and two leave the battle field carrying him.
Anyway, this is what I was taught in the army, it was also perfect for bamboo forests because the bullet would shatter and continue on like buckshot.

It's definitely a great weapon, but I'd take an old M-1 30 cal carbine over one, which I have. A 223 is basically a 22 caliber bullet if that helps, just more power behind it in an AR.

Throwing the chief under the bus.

Let Minneapolis do that.   Let's see how Ms Witchmer likes to deal with total anarchy in her state.   Perhaps she'll consider instituting sharia law in that city.   I don't think the mayor would mind...he seems to have some kind of affinity for the mussies.

She is the governor of Michigan, not Minnesota.
