If it weren't for the designing of new rifle cartridges you wouldn't have your beloved 30-06 because it would still be the 30-01. Oh but wait that wouldn't have been designed either.

Yeah, cut and paste. You don't even know my qualifications do you? In fact you don't even know if I own an AR or not do you? Nor do you know if I own any WSSM cartridge.

No one is trying to make the AR look like a perfect hunting rifle but they are very capable hunting rifles. Thousands of people, every year, go out and hunt with their AR rifles and do so very successfully. from prairie dogs to elk and moose.

The fact remains that you are all hung up on "assault rifle" design but nearly every single modern firearm is based heavily on a previous military designed "assault rifles". A good many of the rifle and cartridge designs are of military origin. The Colt SAA and the 45 Colt, the Springfield 1873 and 45-70 Govt., The Springfield 1903 and the 30-06, the 1911 and the 45acp, The M14 and the 308 Win, The Luger and the 9X19mm, The Browning 1900 and 32 ACP... the list goes on and on.

One would be correct in arguing against this statement. The more these firearms popularity increases the more difficult it will be for the anti gun crowd to get them banned. Remember that they aren't after our hunting rifles and only after those bad "black guns" that have no place in the sporting firearms world. It would appear to me that with companies like Remington stamping their names on them and the fact that they are being chambered in cartridges (remember we learned what a cartridge is in the last lesson) like the .243, 7mm-08, 260 Rem, that there is indeed a solid sporting base for these rifles.

The real problem is people like yourself (assuming that you do own firearms) with your illogical opinions about firearms. Your type are the biggest threat to gun ownership this country has today.


Bottom line... you don't have a leg to stand on in this debate. You lost a long time ago and should bow out gracefully.
