This is how they brainwash every wave of youth... Ever since the 1960's ...old Liberals hit upon a theme of change they want, indoctrinate the kids, and get them to activate on their enthusiasm...telling them it's history and instilling in them a nostalgia for it that holds 'em

If you need an AR 15 to defend yourself, you have some major problems.
-
An AR-15 isn’t a lean-mean killing machine like you probably think. The only reason the AR-15 is antagonized is because it is the most common semi automatic rifle. I don’t see anybody calling people insane for using an SKS for home defense.
-
SKS isn't a spray-and-pray gun. Similarly, simple: restrict extended magazines and drums because there's 0 reason for a civilian to have those. If you can't hit your home invader or dinner in 10 shots you're more likely to be hitting someone else.
