Do I need an AR15?

[pistolpete10]

I have 2 AR15s, I haven't needed either one. It will be too late to buy one AFTER you need it. I bought the first one before the 2016 election, it's name is Hillary. It's a 20" bbl, weighs about 10lbs with the scope. Later got a 16" thinking I'd like it better, I do but it isn't a favorite for me to shoot. It's in case we need it.

I wonder if Joe realized that when he gave his little " Ban Assault Rifles" speech the other day ... He became the largest Assault Rifle Salesman in the land ... The fool should have kept his big mouth shut or asked the weapons makers for a salesman's commission ... Hmmm I wonder if he did cut a deal with them ... he's going to be the direct cause of a LOT of new sales .

Not that I am expecting to ever be in another gun fight..60+ year ago was enough for me...If I get into one it will be in short range, because if there is a chance for me to run the other way I am taking it...So my 9mm is plenty for me..

I'm not expecting the house to catch fire, but I have fire extinguishers and smoke alarms on every floor.

When the menacing extra-galactic Invaders come, which threaten to bring their extremely advanced technology to bear in a massive galactic purge. They will arrive in our galaxy via Stable Wormholes that they generate from their home galaxy, a bolt action or lever action just won't cut it or get the job done to defend the planet.
Since I am retired & no longer working shut downs @ Nuclear Power Plants I do not have access to ammo for my phaser.
So I picked the next best thing an AR-15.

Darn wormholes. Waiting on my Remlin Mk1 Plasma Rifle to ship. Stay frosty.

I know that guy. Name was "John Smith" and he paid in cash.

No one has mentioned the SHTF scenario where if extra ammo and parts are needed, National Guard armories may be a resupply point.

I never cared much for ARs, preferring "real guns" made from walnut and steel, like M1s, M14, Mine 14s, etc. My PD had some 9mm ARs that were OK. When I got to Afghanistan, I was issued a Bushmaster M4 with the three shot burst feature. It was OK too and I started to like ARs a little bit.

A couple of years ago, I decided to get an AR, "just because." I got a good price on a Del-Ton, which is a decent entry level carbine. The accuracy is "minute of pie plate" which is good enough for me.

So yes, I would buy one if I didn't have one.
