are we living in the post rifle age?

No, don't go giving up your rifles.

Watch the news, bad guys are wearing body armor on a more consistent basis. Most of them don't know the difference between NIJ IIA, III, IIIA, and IV.

Most of them get whats cheap, and easy to wear (aka light). Most want something that will hide under a hoodie - most rifle plates won't; they are bulky, heavy, and stick out like a sore thumb.

A rifle will punch right through most soft armor. An AR rifle stopped the Sutherland Springs shooter with one round, through his body armor.

I think I'll keep a rifle handy....maybe even a pistol chambered in a rifle caliber and/or SBR



Or practice head shots, in the dark, while moving, while the suspect moves, while being fired upon - good luck. IBTL.

This guy has everyone at each others throats. I'd say that if he isn't a troll he certainly is doing a pretty good job imitating one.
Y'all simmer down.....do what I do-pour a drink and go sit under the backyard oak tree.

AR-15 Either everybody needs one and you're irresponsible if you don't have one or nobody needs one and you're irresponsible if you do. At the risk of being vilified by both sides, let me suggest that it is a viable option in many. but not all circumstances, a better option than a pistol in some cases and a lesser option in others, but definitely not obsolete and probably won't be until replaced by the phaser or plasma rifle. To steal a great line from Matthew Quigley "I said I didn't have much use for one, not that I didn't know how to use one."

Did someone really say "everybody needs one"?

Ever got a 30 day sabbatical?

Not always, I get nailed a lot for posting a thread in the wrong forum like an idiot. Im just giving him the benefit of doubt because I know how our administration team keeps a clean house.

Nah, I don't need a gun. I've got a Donk. Joe

I live in a rural area, fairly well off the public street. Sheriff's Department response would run about 10--15 minutes, on a quiet night. Should a carload of multiple assailants make the trip up my long driveway, I want my M4 here to protect my family. The Second Amendment is not limited to hunting privileges, despite Biden's mischaracterization. Rifles and handguns are constitutionally protected for our individual safety and the nation's security.

Member is a troll, ignore him.

What's your handle at the Washington Post, or the NYT?

I'm guessing Univibe

 

[fatcat3]

I have some rifles that haven't been shot in years. So, why do I still have them?

Well I always use the excuse that they don't eat much

 

[ditrina]

Well... here we go, bicker, insulting, .45 vs 9mm, revolver vs pistol, sporting rifle vs shotgun, RPG vs Mortar
and oh yeah..FORD vs CHEVY vs MOPAR

Did I miss anything??

Nope we're done here.
