They forgot one very important reason, maybe the most important: FUAC

That's why I built mine. I had a bunch of extra money and said to myself they don't want me to have one so why not just build it.
Phazer
.450/400 Nitro Ex
Gov. Monkeyface's insistence that we not have firearms is what made me want to get into firearms.

And bonus #11: It makes leftists like Cuomo throw a shit fit.

.577 Tyrannosaur.
Reason #12
Versatility.
You can get custom match barrels that are easy to swap for accuracy.
You can use a short stock or a long one.
You can easily swap a caliber by just having an extra upper for different applications.

This was a decent little article. I agree with all of the reasons stated.
I will add a few more;
The breakdown of this firearm is simple, it can be stored or "hid" just about anywhere.
Makes a great truck gun.
Ammo is priced right, especially when on sale.
Multiple filled magazines can be carried without adding tons of weight.
The AR-15 can in a sense, replace almost every other type of firearm.
Great for short or long range.

Yes, yes you can. The next one is going to be zombie green, yellow and red highlights.

Yea. I don't know what that was all about. Perhaps he hunts in Alaska?
Because they're awesome.
Gotta say, since having been reunited with the platform after a years long absence I am becoming quite the AR fanboy depite all my efforts to remain objective. I enjoy shooting my AR more than any other gun I have. Even the Garand!

Disaster Preparedness - I read an article written by a Bosnian war survivor. He made a good point about weapons. He stated that you had a much better chance of surviving using a non military style (looking) rifle. Being seen with an AR, you can be looked at as military or your gun identified as something someone else wants. Either way, you become more of a target. The author stated that they used older, wooden stock rifles and were generally left alone. They also chose to live in a rundown building vs a cared for place. Who wants to raid a slum?
How much validity does this really have given how overwhelmingly common the AR is? If there ever were an event that has ordinary folk wandering about with long guns the AR would be an exceptionally common sight.
In Afghanistan almost everyone had an AK, they were left alone if they did not pose a threat. The type of weapon you carry is less important than the way you act while carrying it.

I think this is a completely valid point, and worth consideration.
Under a coat it is easy to carry six mini-14 mags holding 20 or 30 rounds each, and have a 5 round mag in your mini-14 with a leather sling. Given appropriate attire in rural NY this will raise far less concern about possible intentions than a person wearing multicam holding an AR . One scenario looks like a hick hunter, the other looks militant and tactical. Certainly this is somewhat moderated if wearing a double mackinaw coat while carrying an AR15 but still not as greyman as the benign looking mini14. Just a question of managing perceptions.
Who will be a person of interest?
