Why Everyone Needs An AR-15

Ғылым және технология

Once again, various gun control groups are pushing for a national Assault Weapon Ban that specifically targets AR-15s. Does the AR-15 deserve all this hate? Does the argument for restricting "military-style rifle" ownership hold up? Isaac Botkin walks through the history of every step of small arms weapon development to see if there is a case for this.

    The recoil factor is significant. Deal breaker significant. My Mauser military gun from a century ago fires a 30.06 cartridge like my Remington deer hunting rifle. Both hit your shoulder like a sledge hammer. Just brutal to shoot. My AR-15 style rifle firing .223/.556 has almost no recoil. There is no pain. You can practice and become familiar and competent with the gun without being afraid of it. I assure you my wife, sister, or mother would never fire a 30.06 a second time. Yes, the AR platform is far superior in every way for home defense than anything that has come before it.

We were given 2 boxes of ammo and told us to go out and get your battle dope. Three weeks later were were fighting NVA on hill 861. Many Marines lost their lives because of weapon malfunction and jamming. Later on we adopted to these new weapons and actually found them better than the heavier m14. Always Semper Fidelis!!!

    I'm surprised he missed the Kentucky long rifle in his analysis of the revolutionary war. The next great innovation wasn't the percussion cap, it was barrel rifling, which was supposedly discovered by accident when a barrel 'defect' was found to make the rifle more accurate by adding spin to the projectile. The British military was using smooth bore 'Brown Bess' muskets at the time as he correctly states in the video, so this is yet another example of civilian weapons being better than what militaries were using.

Mao was right when he said, "All political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." There is simply no justification for the public servant police to be more heavily armed than the law-abiding public they claim to serve, unless the government's intention is to be more powerful than the people, so they can dictate the rules by which the people are allowed to live. With guns, we are Citizens. Without guns, we are Subjects. As a first generation American, born to parents who fled their homelands to escape communism, I will never give up my guns.

    @@955miro It's your stance and opinion on the subject, not a universal truth. And I don't think the debate should be about owning guns in general, it should be about who should never be able to own a gun (f.e. criminals, psychologically unstable persons, political/religious extremists). If you give every idiot the opportunity to buy an AR-15, you shouldn't have the right to cry for a loved one that get's killed by it. You have more mass shootings then quite literally every other country in the world and most of the times it is some crackhead who was able to buy a gun which he should never have been able to. Again, not saying nobody should, but some of your states have regulations that are simply laughable. It's not unreasonable if you think about people in your life who you wouldn't trust with a weapon.

    So, I appreciate and agree with your argument. I also thank you for approaching this thoughtfully and with good research. I am a gun owner and think that overall we should be able to own them. One Question though: Do you see how everything you have said in this argument can be flipped to show how the gun lobby has created a gun fetish culture by using those very same four tactics? As you clearly showed, in the past most reasonable gun owners had their basic firearms for hunting and home protection. They didn't have tables full of guns nor combat arms you see in the trenches. Shouldn't it be a little harder to get AR and above style weapons? After all, the forefathers envisioned a "well-regulated" militia. As an Army veteran, I have been around alot of people with guns. And most American gun owners scare the shit out of me. I think that we should have to be licensed to operate guns just like vehicles. The more deadly the gun the more training we should have to do. But those "regulations" should be simple and quick. Which is possible. Our government is by the people and for the people. Yet, the powers that be have convinced so many that the answer is to load up on guns and vilify politics. We are all distracted and fed BS that turns us against each other. If we really want a free and safe country we need more reasonable approaches to these issues. Thanks again for doing your part. Please consider looking at the issue from the flip side as well.

My taxes, which are taken without my consent, pay for the roads I travel on! A drivers license is just another form of control, by way of registration, and revenue generation. Who is government to determine how any living being is "ALLOWED" to defend their own life? Who determines the regulation, you, me, or..... GOVERNMENT! As far as the number of firearms anyone owns... what difference does that make, you can only fire one at a time.

    Facts. The M4 I was assigned to when I was in the Army was a piece of shit. No matter how much I cleaned and lubed it, it would jam. I even started bringing my own ammo to see if the ammo was just cheap (which it usually isn't) and no, it was the rifle. I've sent damn near 700 rounds through my personal AR15 and not a single jam. I've sent probably about 1500 rounds of 7.62 through my AK and it only jammed once but that was because the extractor broke.

    Canada is screwed thanks to your “Boy who wants to be king”, Justin Trudeau who recently announced the national freeze on the sale, purchase and transfer of handguns in Canada comes into effect. Couple that with Canada’s mandatory registration of “restricted” firearms, meaning all handguns and other firearms the govt. chooses to restrict, as well as a database of every Canadian citizen who has purchased any firearm in the past years, the next step that is guaranteed to follow is the govt. mandating that all Canadians with firearms surrender them. They know who you are! The fact that your Boy King, Trudeau, has stood for election 5 times, with the latest in 2021 and reelected each time, tells you everything you need to know about the direction your country is going. And there’s not a damn thing you or any other conservative can do about it short of an armed, nationwide insurrection before they take your firearms. Remember how the anti-covid lockdown trucker convoys were treated by Trudeau and the financial actions taken against them? They were considered domestic terrorists, just like the current firearms owners are going to be classified.

    "It's time to dispel a falsehood that many of us believe. The lie that leftist politicians don't know anything about guns. They often come off as clowns that know absolutely nothing about firearms. They say some off the wall ridiculous things and seem to display levels of ignorance that don't seem possible. Even if this were true, they have access to think tanks, government agencies, speech writers, fact checkers, interns and other sources that can allow them to speak intelligently about firearms. A leftist that has never even touched a gun can in fact come off as more knowledgeable than an anon that has owned and fired many guns as well as many gun enthusiasts. But they don't. Why is that, do you think? They know exactly what they are doing. They are manipulating the language in order to confuse the masses. They are using ethos and pathos to manipulate the uneducated and the emotional. Emotional appeals work better to persuade the majority than do logic or fact based information. Our rebuttals to their attacks on liberty are often based on technical facts (No such thing as fully-semiautomatic, that's not an "assault rifle" etc.) have little appeal to the majority who simply do not care about such factoids. Our emotional appeals to self defense and liberty, likewise, involve the prospect of violence and are thus more frightening to the more emotional and low IQ population. "Make violence go away" is much more appealing than the truth (Violence is eternal, natural and unavoidable on a long enough timeline). They aren't speaking to us. They are speaking against us as they stand safely behind armies of jackbooted mercenaries. At our expense. Our techniques for arguing against them are woefully inadequate.

    When the anti-gun people argue that civilians should not have "military style" weapons, their argument is actually invalid because most guns have been used by militaries around the world at one time or another, even most bolt-action hunting rifles are of military origin, because they're all derived from the Gewehr 98 more commonly known as the Mauser 98 which was the standard German service rifle and like what Isaac said in the video, other countries made their own copies and derivatives of it including the U.S. and used them as their standard service rifles. So again, when people argue that civilians shouldn't have "military style rifles", they're actually arguing for a ban on essentially all guns, but we already know that is their intention.

    When talking gun rights with my more left leaning friends, I like to remind them that hunting and self defense are not mentioned in the 2nd Amendment at all. Our founding fathers intended the civilian population to have access to the modern weapons of the day with the specific intention of fostering and maintaining familiarity and skill with said weapons. And looking to Ukraine in the modern day and parallels to America during the Revolutionary period, it's pretty easy to see why they intended this right to not be infringed.

The USA was complicit in helping the Soviets stay in power and continue to genocide 100+ million of its own un-armed people and destroying the once great German backbone. Patton asked Eisenhower in '45 if he could Chase the Reds out of Berlin (after it was allowed to be taken by the Soviets) back to Moscow and shoot em all in the back while they ran... but Ike said NO and demoted him to head of theatre vehicle logisitics instead and we all know he never made it back.

Addendum: I’m grateful for whatever the NRA has done for 2A advocacy, training instructors, kids programs, etc., but when it comes to who gets a seat at the table in terms of our God given rights to bear arms, there’s room for more organizations that are more serious and more effective. This video and this channel are proof of what people acting in their own self interest can achieve without permission from some 1984 style, entrenched and unelected official.

And then also look at how those same cops left the groups of armed civilians the hell alone. It wasn't the armed groups they were tear gassing or beating with batons.

    After really learning about the AR15 platform.. The versatility of it almost makes it an "any rifle" With 1 AR lower you can swap out various uppers that can fire multiple different rounds some of which fit in the same mags while others in modified mags.. and lastly those that don't require the use of the magwell other than expending cartridges like the 57 upper. The various barrel lengths you can easily swap in under a minute if you have other complete uppers.. Like a .300 Black Out A quick swap in uppers and throwing in a mag loaded in the 300BO ammo and you pretty much have a new gun. Plus they made the platform for pistol calibers in case you want one caliber for both your rifle & handgun. It's design really does make it a truly remarkable platform to use. Added that it can be set up to virtually have no recoil.. anyone could handle one if needed. Ive seen 9yr old's use one at the range with quickness & precision. I think that most every family should own one.

One can't praise the capabilities of the AR-15 and then act like oh well it's not this scary weapon of war. Practically speaking, it is, a lot of weapons are though, and banning a weapon of war is a vague and dumb excuse.

    Small correction: "Grenade launcher" they have in mind in those assault weapons bans isn't the M203 style under barrel ones. Those generally are already considered destructive devices in 40mm as is. What they mean is the barrel profile that allows to fire rifle grenades. Kinda like Yugo SKS or some FAL variants. It's not like you have rifle grenades laying in the discount isle in Walmart. That is how low they are going.

    Except facts: More Americans died of gun-related injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, according to recently published statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That included a record number of gun murders, as well as a near-record number of gun suicides. Nearly eight-in-ten (79%) U.S. murders in 2020 - 19,384 out of 24,576 - involved a firearm. That marked the highest percentage since at least 1968, the earliest year for which the CDC has online records.

And from the sales alone I would say what Americans want is not a ban. They want security. Security they know their government will never provide in ever changing times with communities that are going soft on crime and criminals. They constantly try to cash in on tragedy but the tragedies only further prove that you are your own first responder. And when you need help it will be much further away then you would hope. Nevermind the fact that most of the features they claim make the weapons so called assault weapons are simply there to make the weapons more efficient and safe. Anything that makes the tool easier to control is not an evil feature. All the evil is in the individual and no matter the tool evil will always exist. You cannot ban your way out of danger. But you can disarm your citizens and make the very easy to control.

    The AR-15 and many American guns exists because of the 2nd amendment. Inventors were free to design and build guns and SOME of them get adopted by the US military. In a gun control world we would never have had the Garand, the M16, ANY of Browning's guns. I firmly believe that suppressor tech is being held back because to innovate them, you need special permits and then pay the crown to even possess one. It stagnates development and restricts those of us that want to use them AND the media continues to give people bad impressions of what a suppressor has to offer. I know tons of vets who shrug getting a suppressor solely because of "auditory exclusion" and forget about hearing damage.
