I was wondering why AR15 purchasers who listed their reason for buying them as being for "home defense" after reading somewhere that the round wounds instead of kills and perhaps they were just being kind and responsible gun owners who value human life if they have to "clear their apartment" of an alleged assailant, particularly if they were armed...

Well, that was the reason given by the gun instructor/ seller of the AR15 in a linked video. I was questioning that in an earlier post since he stated he would use the AR15 as his weapon of choice to "clear his apartment" of assailants. I'd be concerned more about the .223 caliber rounds flying through the drywall and into a neighbor's apartment. I thought that was the purpose of using a Glasser defense round and equivalent. But apparently, according the gun instructor/seller the AR15 is his choice for "apartment defense"...

400 deaths per year by the AR-15, with the rest by other means, mainly handguns.  So they're wringing their hands over the gun that is involved in about 1 percent of all gun deaths in the nation.   

Of course, this is all just a prelude to what is coming next, outlawing all semi-automatic weapons altogether, and then we're left with 6 shooter revolvers or 9 shot .22 revolvers.  

Wait a minute......... I forgot........ NOBODY wants to take our guns.  I think Lacey just got that tattooed on his forehead recently.  

I just put a 6 shooter on layaway, so I'm starting to worry that pretty soon, one of my guns is going to get itchy and decide to jump off the table, and do whatever these rogue guns do all by themselves.

Sure hope that doesn't happen.  Maybe my new gun will shot the old gun before it can get out the door!
