I just bought my first one three weeks ago...very good chance I will own some more...lots of fun to shoot. Would like to experiment with building my own, but I need to get some more edumacation on them before I screw it up.

I think we need to set up a range in your backyard.

Let Obama get re-elected and you'll find out what the craze is.

No real reason other than I appreciate ALL firearms. I have lots of firearms that I have never even loaded. I just like having them. It would be just another firearm in my safe to admire from time to time. Plus, I would have it just in case...

I wouldn't have a firearm that I wouldn't use afield unless it's an antique of some kind.

Every one I have is usable, has been used or will be used. I just don't have enough time to get out and enjoy them all!

Some are limited numbered editions. Some are bought for my kids when they get older. Some have been passed on to me through the family and have sentimental value. Some I just haven't gotten around to shooting.

I'd like to have one as well, but I was interested in an AK rather than an AR. Been looking at some made by Arsenal. Out in my neck of the woods I feel I'm not armed to the hilt like I need to be. Any given holiday that involves fireworks it's a given you will here the douche bags and their celebratory fire.

Me likey.....but haven't gotten one yet. With 18 years and counting in the military though, I've run more than a few rounds down the barrels of them!

My backyard is on the interior (not against the swamp) and it is very small with a swimming pool taking up most of it. You're welcome to come shoot mine at the range at Skyline next time I head up that way.

I deer hunt with mine.

They are a bit expensive but I guess that I could buy one anyway. The problem is that they are really fun to shoot. I burned through four 30rnd clips in my nephews a couple of weeks ago. Theres no telling how many rounds I would go through if I had my own. And that is where the real expense would be for me. I have enough can plinkers to satisfy me.

when he loses it will be worse and you may be damn glad you have an AR...

I felt just like you and I'm a rifle nut!
I decided to hunt coyotes during the summer so I was looking for a dedicated coyote rifle. After checking out a few predator forums and seeing the photos of the ARs they were using, I decided I wanted one! I bought a Rock River Predator Pursuit from Simmons in Bessemer about six months ago. I put a Leupold Vari-X III 1.75x6x32 on it and it's very accurate and fun to shoot. I only own one AR and the Rock River is enough for now.

the only one i ever considered purchasing was the sig ar22 i saw at wal-mart the other night. it was pretty sharp and i could afford to shoot it. i would really like to have a legitimate m16 like i shot in boot camp. an ar is really meant to have full auto capabilities anyway you know.
to each his own.

Very good point. When the give away programs stop, I think we are going to need plenty of ammo

What makes you think the idgits (republicans or democrats) are capable of stopping the give away programs?

I have shot and carried AR weapons for several years in the nilitary....they are dependable and easy to maintain.However I will not own one I would rather shoot my 17hmrs at the range.I was always taught one shot one kill.lol.
