#3Was there any actual point to all of that ranting? So a lot of Redditors (myself included) are pro-gun and like to exercise our 2A rights by owning and occasionally gasp shooting /gasp guns! Oh noes! FSM forbid that a civilian might own a "powerful" gun like an AR-15.
Never mind that, like all of the other articles written by paranoid anti-gun kooks, this article is sadly misinformed about the nature, capacity, and capabilities of various guns. An AR-15 is a civilian weapon, not capable of select-fire or fully-automatic fire, and is no more "powerful" than most popular semi-automatic hunting rifle. And in terms of ballistic power, the 5.56 NATO rounds are relative lightweights, being nearly equivalent to .223 Remington rounds, and with less ballistic power than a .308 Winchester, .30-06, .375 Ruger and a whole laundry-list of other rifle cartridges. There's no more reason to get all panicky and freaked-out over an AR-15 than any other gun. As far as that goes, you can kill someone with a single-shot lever-action .22LR. Sheesh.

#4I understand the desire for an individual to purchase a firearm in the interest of protecting your family. However this still available comment on twitter seems like it is more about making a profit and circumventing what little regulation we have on the books;
"Listen, I'm not saying I want to see Sandy Hook Part II but another 20 or 30 dead kids would really dress out my balance sheet."

Please someone who loves the 2nd amendment come up with a way to justify this disgusting comment.
