enthusiast in any way other than with one of your snarky, little pejoratives ("cultists&quot I suspect you think they are all "a little warped."

The Stoner platform, in all its variants, is among the most popular rifles ever sold. The number of people buying ammo in bulk to save money is likewise significant. On the other hand, the percentage of Holmes-type personalities making these purchases is statistically insignificant yet you would have the police out investigating them all in an attempt to ferret out the 1 in 1000000 that might not be absolutely straight and level. Personally, I think the authorities have their hands full with more productive endeavors.
