Debate user Saint Agustin on why you need an AR-15? - Why you need a long ass rifle? Are you gay or you lack dick?

[Saint Agustin]

Why you need an AR-15? Just get q glock or something if you want to have a weapon for self defense (which is still gay as shit)

AR-15 people have it cause they are either morons that played a lot of COD and like when guns go brrr or dickless faggots who feel insecure in any social environment so they need to compensate with a figuratively representation of death in the shape of a phallus.

You want to defend your home? Buy a shotgun or revolver. If you are a civilian you don't need an AR-15 or any rifle like that.

AR-15 = less of a mess

Shotgun = big mess

 

[Divine right to rule]

Why do you need a penis, OP? You obviously won't use it for your whole life.

 

[updoot farmer]

OP def doesn't because he's too dumb to find the gun control debate thread.

 

[Breadbassket]

i need an ar-15 because i like the sound it makes when it fires

 

[Apochrypha]

They are highly customizable and lightweight, and easy to fix without much fuss. If law enforcement can have theirs, I can have mine. Plus, it's one of the most accessible guns in America, so why not get one.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Guns are cool and badass.

if you want a rifle, its kinda hard to justify getting anything that isnt an ar15 tbh. there's a reason why it's by far the most popular for sports shooters, and hunters, and cops, and soldiers, and pmcs, and hobbyists, etc.
maybe if you are looking for something very specific, like maybe you want something for hunting real big game, then you might need a bigger caliber rifle. but in general, 5.56 ar15 is just a solid rifle all around, you really can't go wrong with it.

actually, i can think of one good reason: if you are a destitute poorfag and can't afford to dump money into tons of 5.56 ammo for shooting practice, then maybe you're better off getting a .22lr rifle, cause that ammo is dirt cheap so you can plink to your hearts content without going bankrupt.

if you aren’t using a BB gun to defend yourself you’ve already failed.

I support the banning of AR's and AK and semi-auto rifles and high powered, not hunting sniper rifles like the barret 50. Life is not COD dipshits

 

[MrJokerRager]

I need one because I lost the last one in a boating accident and Biden gave out free gibs.

ARs are a jack of all trades gun; they do most things reasonably well but they don't have the short range stopping power or lack of overpenetration a shotgun has, they don't have the range or flexibility of a .30 caliber rifle, and they lack the compactness and storability of a pistol or revolver.

What they do offer is a very user-customizable platform so that you can tailor it to your needs and comfort. It doesn't have heavy recoil like a shotgun or rifle typically does, ammo and magazines are generally very available as are people to teach you about the weapon.

Handguns are kind of a non-starter. They require a lot of skill and practice to use effectively in a stressful situation. This equates to time and money emptying 50-round boxes at the range. They're just as loud as a long gun, even magnum calibers aren't as powerful as a rifle or shotgun round. Handguns require a commitment to improvement to be effective as more than a deterrent. This is why a lot of cops just spray and pray with their Glocks. Glocks will reliably spit 9mm hollow points all day but their trigger leaves a lot to be desired and their accuracy is nothing special. I've never found them to be the most comfortable piece, but then I'm a Sig-Sauer snob.

My own home defense rig, well if you want to find that out, sneak into Red Hood's hideout after dark.

Literally everything you said is retarded

ARs are functionally identical in capabilty to old hunting rifles like the mini-14, they just get flack because they look "military"
AKs are already banned due to being full auto
Sniper rifles ARE often used for hunting and should not be banned. Not even a 50 cal.

And lastly,
99% of guns made today are semi-auto, you fucking retard. If you don't know what semi-auto means look it up

Life is not COD dipshits

Were you asleep for all of 2020?

Most sniper rifles are functionally indistinguishable from high-end hunting rifles. The only difference tends to be hunting rifles are light enough to be carried around comfortably, whereas a sniper rifle may be heavier as they're more stationary.

Well you see, most of the individuals I know who own rifles like that have nothing else to spend their money on, since they are depressed childless individuals or deadbeats full of regret who have no passion in life yet still go to work because it is routine and expected of them and they'd have nothing else to do anyways.

However despite the aimless unfulfilled lives they lead, they wish to convince themselves they are not consoomers but rather based individuals, and thus they piss their money away on expensive firearms instead of regular sheeple goods while pretending it is different.

AR-15s absolutely have their uses, but the kind of people who most frequently buy them do not.

Ok, sure, if you're trying to defend a mansion.

In a home defense situation you aren't shooting someone 50 feet away, you're shooting someone 10 feet away.

Pistols or short barreled shotguns are going to be what works in home defense. This isn't a range, you need to be able to shoot people basically up until the point they're on top of you, and having two feet of barrel sticking out in front of you going around corners is lunacy.
Power barely matters, if you have armored men storming your house you have bigger problems, and again, use a short barrelled shotgun then if you're concerned about that.

I'm not even a gun nut, it's just basic logic that the idea of a rifle for home defense is silly.
