EDIT: I'VE GOT IT!
I've avoided get one thus far, mostly because I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about getting the "Assault Rifle" that the all the anti-gunners have been gunning for since, well...Forever. However, I've realized that it makes little sense to deprive myself of a firearm for such a reason. Besides, those creeps haven't succeeded yet, despite their best attempts with no shortage of scum-bags using them for all manner of violent crimes nor coffins of shooting victims for them to use as soapboxes to shamelessly push their agenda.
Besides, I'll most likely be using it as my Designated Boat Defense Battle Rifle, for use against Water Moccasins, Pirates, and Great White Sharks, so I may end up losing it regardless in some form of unfortunate accident. What's important is that I have it with me when it counts, better for it to go down with the ship after frantically shooting holes in the boat to get the Water Moccasins, fall overboard after a battle with Pirates, or end up in the belly of a Great White Shark than for me to lose my life over any of the aforementioned threats because I didn't have a proper rifle to defend myself.
Anyway, I've got a couple of appointments coming up this month for a teeth cleaning as well as an eye exam, so once those are over I figure I'll treat myself afterwards buy buying a rifle, but the question is; which one?
Obviously, I'm a big fan of Smith & Wesson, so an M&P15 is the first one that comes to mind. Not only are they affordably priced, but they're frequently available at a discounted price because there are often Police trade-ins floating around. However, I'm unfamiliar with ARs, so I'm curious to hear from others.
NOTE: I know that it's widely considered to be best to build one yourself, but I'm really not interested in doing so, I'd rather just buy one pre-built. I'm not looking for anything too special anyway, just a basic AR Pattern Rifle.
EDIT: The choice has been made! I have placed an order for a police trade-in M&P15X!

So, I'm thinking it might be time for me to finally bite the bullet and get an AR...
