I know, but you don't find it odd that that one model of gun is so prevalent in mass shootings?

Hell, for all we know, these murderers aren't big gun guys and simply seek out the AR-15 because they've heard of it.  It would be stupid to demonize a gun based on name recognition alone, but if it left a potential mass shooter grasping at straws, maybe give it a try?

The most common gun used in mass shootings are semi-auto pistols. The number of people killed annually by rifles (of which the AR-15 is included) is usually less than those killed by hammers and fists (around 400). 

The problem with the AR-15 is that it is generally black and looks scary. Other than that, it has the exact same function, action and effectiveness of other semi-auto rifles. I would know, I own a few (hunting rifles, AR-15's, AR-10's and A2-12's).

i understand that, I'm not saying the gun is ACTUALLY any worse than other guns.  It makes me throw up in my mouth to use this phrase, but I'm suggesting the perception has become the reality that they are bad/worse.  

And did you just sign off on my hammer+knife home defense plan?  :)

I just have the one. Got it from Palmetto State Armory as a kit. Was $399 when I got it three years ago.

You've not tasted the spiced bologna of the G&R Tavern. They have is specially made with their own recipe.

There is a local butcher (south of Waldo) that makes if for them. It used available to the public from that butcher. However, someone was coming down from Northern Ohio and buying it to sell at their shop (I know the guy that was doing it, no it was not me) and the owner of the G&R Tavern now will not let you buy it from that butcher as he owns the recipe. You can only get it from the Tavern now.

You may want to update that plan.

The PSA is a very good entry level AR. Some people try to give them a bad name, but they hold up very well compared to the more expensive brands. 

I saw some deals on some complete uppers and lowers the other day. I'm thinking of picking some up and doing a couple more builds.

I was going to buy an AR-10 from PSA a couple of years ago and almost pulled the trigger (no pun intended). However, I ended up going with Aero Precision on that build. Very nice rifle chambered in .308 cal. Good out to 1000 yds, or so I hear. I've not had the opportunity to shoot at that distance yet.

It cracked me up that they sent me the entire kit, except the actual firearm, which was this little metal thing. You know what I mean. It was a $40 firearm, and I had to pay my FFL $50 to pick it up.
