Why do people think it okay to own a fully automatic ar-15 assault rifle?

because they're nutty.

AR-15s are semi auto...Hence, the "Bump Stocks".

An AR-15 style rifle is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on the ArmaLite AR-15 design...

- and anyone that needs a semi-auto with or without a bump stock for hunting doesn't belong in the woods.

AR-15s for sale to the public are semi-automatic.

Research your questions before making yourself look like an idiot.

spoons made you fat,....ban all spoon now!!!!

why are sports cars made to go real fast,....ban those too,....now!!!

Why is it okay for you to own a brain since you never use it?

Are you suggesting that criminals should be allowed to keep their AR15s because they might need them?

there are very few fully automatic AR-15s in America. they've been banned for decades

Why give it up if we don't have to? LOL

there is no such thing

The AR-15 is a SEMI-automatic rifle. It is NOT an "assault rifle" any more than the baseball I smash into your skull is an "assault bat". People know it is okay to own whatever legal firearm they can afford. No one needs your permission or approval to choose. If you can ever come up with a way to get the guns from the criminals, we MIGHT be able to talk about a way to get law abiding taxpayers to surrender the firearms they have a right to own. Until you decide to become my guardian and can prove capable of doing a better job of defending me than I can, you have no right to tell me how I can defend myself or what tools I can use.

They are crazy.
