Why it's important to consider owning an AR-15
First let's talk about the ‘AR’.
The AR in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.”
A weapon can't be an ‘assault’ weapon unless it is used to assault someone. Period. You could potentially have ‘assault bacon’ if bacon was used to assault someone. See?
Ok so onto the article, right…

When guns are taken away, that's when genocides happen. Hitler disarmed everyone in Germany and in every country he conquered, and he killed 11 million people, and nobody could stop him. Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao [did the same]. It's not about gun control. It's about control. It's about elites having control
