Here's a Crazy Idea...Use the "Breastaurant" concept to buy back Assault Rifles and High Cap Mags

25. Do you really want an answer?

"Hunting - I have been hunting, and I have never used or seen used an AR in that context. It's not sporting. I had a friend who was a big game hunter, and even when he got his Cape Buffalo (reportedly the most dangerous animal to kill. They charge, and you have to hit them in the kneecaps to bring them down) he used a bolt action rifle."

IF you ever get to Africa, IF you get a chance to hunt Cape Buffalo, and IF you deliberately"shoot it in the kneecaps" you will be asked by your PH to remove yourself from his camp and not return. If you are very lucky you will not get a chance to see the insides of a African Prison. You will most likely go on a list of "unacceptable persons" that is maintained by each country. Getting on that list means that you are forbidden to hunt not only in that country, but in most of Africa. The list is shared both between countries, but between the PH's in those countries.

"Competitive Target Shooting - There are more accurate rifles, and serious target shooters don't use mass produced, cheap ARs. Check out what they are shooting with at the Olympics sometime."

The AR-15 platform is the preferred competition rifle used in HighPower Rifle matches. It dominates the line shooting from 100 to 600 yards.

"Accuracy - there are more accurate rifles out there. Specifically, I have heard the .223 rounds have a tendency to tumble."

The original 223 cartridge fired a bullet that was barely stabilized in flight. However when it struck the target, that target being the opposing combatant, it became unstable and turned sideways producing a wound far larger than bullet size.


"what if we required AR owners to keep their weapons of war at an approved armory"

The AR-15 is not a"weapon of war". No government has ever issued it as a military weapon.
