So... I think it would be logical to say that Vance is a firearms dealer. Are we talking brick-n-mortar, or an internet store?

And why is it that the AR-15 holds such an amazing fascination on people, when you can buy pretty good rifles at a much lower price...

I think one reason is because it is a rifle that the average guy can easily build himself, and they are almost endlessly customizable. I can't think of a firearm that can be configured in so many different ways.

The platform is just ideal for a "fun gun". Just think, you can buy or build a complete lower, and then buy all kinds of different uppers with different barrel lengths, rail systems, optics, accesories, and even chambered for different cartridges. You can shoot all of those different uppers off of the one lower versus having to buy an entire rifle for every different combonation. Oh yeah, and it only takes about thirty seconds to change them out.

Personally, I don't see what's not to like about the AR platform.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people!!! That is what we have to remember here. Sheeple have lost that idea from their common sense area in there brain!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It all begins with proper firearm training and good public out reach.

The AR platform is a great platform as described by Tolly. I love the idea that i can change my rifle into any configuration that I want. What scares people is the freaking media!! I can't stand watching the news anymore. I turn it on for the weather and then off. I would rather get my new from the internet. At least there I can research the subject thru multiple avenues and get a REAL "fair and unbiased" result. The media shows the AR style weapons being used for one thing.....killing other people. You see soldiers, police and criminals using these type weapons. The sad thing is if you do a little research you would find that a huge portion of gun crimes happen with other guns than "Assault Weapons". I hate that term by the way but I feel I have to use it to illustrate a point. My "Assault Weapons" are used to assault targets, animals and the occasional vegetable. LOL I tell you guys..... I could go on for hours about this stuff but I will digress...... you all get the point!!

Ohh.... I forgot to add..... I am off now to a HUGH gun show in Louisville. Wish me luck on finding some good deals!!

Man, I got to find a M1A at a good price!!!!

Sheeple do not have common sense. They think we are living in a perfect world. They think the world is better without guns. They do not know that more guns are used to save lives than to destory one. Look at how many cops use them to protect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

The gun shops here are also doing a brisk business in AR-15s and defense-type shotguns. Ammo has gotten very expensive. I am not sure what the reason is, since these are expensive items and, in general, retail sales are down. It would appear that quite a few people are preparing for some dangerous times. How much of this weapons buying has to do with the results of the recent elections, I can't say. It may be a reaction to the economic recession and fear of possible civil disorder that may result from an even more serious ecomomic melt down in the future. In any case, the "hoarding" has definitely begun.
