I really like a number of the new AR designs. They are nice light rifles, nice trigger pull, easy to be accurate with, and low recoil. The ideal rifle for so many things.
And sadly the ideal rifle for mass shootings. Something has to be done, and banning them would save a lot of lives. That is why I did not buy one, the evitability NRA's stupidity resulting in them being banned.
I wish there was a third way, a way I could responsibly own such a nice rifle while at the same time not having classrooms full of kids being murdered by crazy people. The stupid NRA has gone all black and white on the issue forcing it to the extremes. So it is either no regulation or ban them all. Well yea, if those are the options, ban them. But why could the NRA not gone middle of the road? Magazine capacity limitations (do you really need more then 5 rounds?), or firearms club/militia where fire arms are stored in a central location, and only accessed as part of the club group events. Maybe a special firearms license that is cheaper then say a FFL, but still regulates who can buy/sell firearms with mass murder potential.
But no compromise, no sensible middle road, just hard line stupidity. The AR series will be banned because of the NRAs stupidity, and it did not have to be that way.
