Why on earth do people need guns like this AR15?
Easy one. Most of the time criminals do not operate alone. There are MANY MANY reasons for the need for an AR-15. Here are two scenarios
S1: You're at home alone asleep and someone breaks into your house. You hear multiple voices and the sound of a gun being racked. The invaders notice your presence and do not plan to leave witnesses and you are in a position where escape is not possible. In that scenario, a handgun is not enough to repel multiple armed attackers. The adrenaline rushing through your body will make your hands shake slightly, no matter how well trained you are (I know this for a fact as a military veteran who has deployed). Also, keep in mind that in many cases one shot is not enough to stop someone, which is the reason police and military are trained to shoot until the threat is stopped. Also, there are various objects that could hinder your shot and the crooks are not just going to stand still and get shot. The average 9mm handgun magazines hold 9-15 rounds. In a home invasion, it takes an average of 6-8 shots to effectively hit and eliminate the threat ONE person poses. In most gun fights you do not have enough time to reload another magazine unless you have someone watching your back, which is not often the case in a home invasion. Hence the need for the larger magazine an AR-15 offers.
S2: Outside the home. Hunters do use AR-15s to defend themselves from wild animals in the event they get cornered. Also, the government loves to step on the rights of their citizens for the sake of their political agendas. Look at Cuba, China, Russia or almost any other nation in history. The ONLY reason the USA exists as its own independent nation is because we were suppressed by a tyrannical government, but instead of letting them coax us into submission, we fought back. Now look at what the Democratic party is trying to implement today and you start to see the need for powerful weapons should they take any more power and try to step on our freedoms our ancestors ALL (including blacks) fought for.

That's not even a real rifle.
The second amendment of the constitution is there to prevent tyranny PERIOD!!
It's there to prevent the United States government from going tyrannical PERIOD!!
if all the guns were taken or given up we would have a government WITH guns and a civilian population with NO GUNS!!
That is a tyranny right there.
The Government could say "we have food and you get none "
Or " you have to do what we say or you die!!"
That is the reason people have weapons DUDE!!
SO you got a plan to take nuclear weapons away from other nations that will work?
Go tell Iran to give you they're nuclear weapons and they will laugh at you for even suggesting it!!
Your insane if you think people can live with out self protection and defense.
We have people known as psyco paths and they don't care one bit if you die. They would actually enjoy watching you die. They get off on hurting people.
And you want to give up guns?
Your silly to believe that people can be trusted to be peaceful.
Especially when people like Mao in China killed millions of his own people because he seen them as non human!!
When Adolf Hittler killed jews, homosexual, Poles, checks, Mentally ill, and even his own people.
Wanna know the first thing he took from his people?
They're self determination!!
He made them swear an oath to him. He made them stupid by burning books.
He took they're guns.
He made cigarettes illegal.
He set up a superior race that no one could meet up to.
Better study history kiddo.
Ideals are peaceful, History is violent!!
No civilian needs a gun like that, and I don't give a damn what the stupid Second Amendment says about this. The Second Amendment was written during a time when it took ages to load a single-shot, clunky musket that was accurate to just a few metres, and when having a "well-armed militia" made perfect sense, because there was the very real possibility of a European power (particularly England) squashing the new republic.
Isaiah 2:4 Most gun-owners claim to be 'Christian'. Well, do what the Bible says then, and disarm. Embrace pacifism.

They are highly customizable, not designed to shoot people and not assault weapons, AR does not stand for Assault Rifle. They are modular which is why they are so popular. Some look like your picture but others look nothing like that.
In the US it is also if the government decides to outlaw them, we all can organize and resist to keep our freedoms. Imagine a 100 million people refusing to turn theirs over.

What is that "thing"?
Here, I'll show you something real...First, it's my right as a citizen- I'm not a subject, and I always exercise my rights. Secondly, this is America, a huge and wealthy nation. I've long since passed what I "need"... I still don't have everything I WANT, and among the things I want are more guns.
Defunding police, protesters, agitators, malcontents... leave me alone! -
Basically because they can.
I know plenty here in the UK with both.22 and.223 AR15 clones.

I donât know why anyone would NEED to have such a weapon. But most of what people arenât things they NEED. They are things people WANT.
That said, you asked âwhy anyone would NEED such a weapon. So here we go.
An AR-15 is a very effective weapon for self defence. Itâs also not they only type of gun that people use.
You could argue that itâs âover killâ. I guess itâs simply the weapon they chose to buy.
I think the odds of using a weapon for self defence are pretty slim, so it may be reasonable to have other uses for the weapon. Those uses could be things like hunting, or for sport.
Iâm sure itâs a fun rifle at the shooting range.
You might say that a simple hand gun would be enough for self defence, and I would tend to agree. But I think hand guns are harder to get.
AnywayâŚ. There are examples of these weapons being used in self defence, and to save lives. We only hear of the bad stories because thatâs what makes the news. -
Because Murrica...
In reality some men from states such as mine feel the need to own ARs, shotguns, etc. For home defense, and while something like a G17 would be sufficient to turn a human into past tense, these men either want to ensure whatever person dumb enough to break into their house is leaving in a body bag, or are compensating for something.
Or they just like that gun go bang like I do. I've fired guns ranging from vintage revolvers to an SKS and can definitely say it's a satisfying experience. - 16.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
Well for one instead of focusing on the lives lost by guns maybe look into the lives that they save.
Also there are several reasons
1# Recreational Purposes
I don't know if you've ever gone to a range before and shot but it's a lot of fun and a great stress reliever.
2# Hunting
Mechanically there is no difference between an AR-15 and a semi-automatic hunting rifle. They function exactly the same and the rounds you can fire in a AR-15 you can also use for hunting.
3# Self Defense
I've read and seen a lot of stories about people defending themselves with AR-15s. There was one kid in Texas I think who was home alone and his house got broken into by like 3 armed people and he was a shooter and had an AR-15 and was able to defend himself and drive off the attackers.
The fact that AR-15s often have adjustable stocks or come in smaller sizes actually make them more efficient in home defense then a full sized rifle. - 3.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
While I'm against civilians owning guns personally, the reasoning is pretty solid.
Who does need these guns? The military. If the military ever attacks us, what do we need to stand against them? The same or better.
If you look at countries where it became a shitshow, like de coup in Turkey ~6 years ago, what the hell are normal people supposed to do, with kitchen knives.. vs AR15s?
That's why a lot of people don't want to give them up, they don't want to surrender their only chance of being able to seize control under weird circumstances.
Or in short.. To fight a motherfucker with a gun, you need a motherfucking gun.
I personally see why they think that way, but I also think we're beyond the times where we can make a difference. So, let's just do what helps 99.9% of the time and not what might maybe at some point somewhat help. - 5.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
simple. Fox News / OAN / NewsMax Trump Twatwaffles think an AR15 symbolizes their 2nd Amendment to compensate for the low IQ and something to go with their Red MAGA Hat and Flag. Since they can't get a rocket launcher, they want the next best thing and an AR is the best possible solution for the rednecks with mico penises. Oh dont worry, you still can have sex with your wifes sister, but since no abortions are going on. Your caught with your pants down...

99% (and probably more) of those who own guns like that don't shoot people with it, let alone in a non-defensive manner. There's exponentially more death from handguns. It's actually really weird, anti-2a people seem to be more obsessed with how many people can kill in a single instance rather than exponentially more people dying overall to another type of weapon. It's like they'd rather save the 40 people (random number) killed by automatic rifles than save the hundreds or thousands killed by pistols. And if people really wanted to kill a lot of people, they're going to. And whether it's made to kill a human isn't relevant. A knife isn't made to kill a human but you have WAY more knife deaths than rifle deaths. And even some places were considering restricting access to knives as a result.

AR15's are responsible for less than 5% of gun deaths so they are not the problem/ You don't need to worry about them. Besides, they keep the overreaching liberal politicians at bay
we need them for the same reason we need cars with more than 50 hp, cigarettes, parachuting, meat, alcohol, fast food, too big of houses, RV's, etc. Because it's a free country and we like it that way.
With the government encouraging anarchy terror groups like BLM, I stocked up on ammo, got over 25000 rounds now. -
To protect themselves from your party members that loot , burn down cities , and kill. Since your party has told police not to do anything to certain groups of people , now we have to rely on weapons to stay alive.

because the band of thugs that showed up at the house not so long ago, armed, stealing what they wanted... when the police took 45 minutes to show up... we'll ya want more firepower than those thugs have to scare them off and protect.
ya ain't allowed to shoot at 'em to save your stuff, only if they try to harm you or get into your house. if ya do, probably going to trial. that's the cost of freedom these days.
of course the problem gets bigger when the thugs carry ar 15's. - 821 opinions shared on Other topic.
Uh, so you skipped all the history classes about humans waging battle with each other for eons using spears, bow & arrow, knives, rocks, and eventually guns? People like you can curl up in bed and feel safe, thinking that the cops will protect you if you need help. Other people don't want to depend on the government for that and believe in having the balls to do violence themselves if needed. It's like asking why did people make cars? Or: Mommy, why are there shovels?
-
Um, that's a camera and tripod. Either that, or Nikon is getting desperate.
To answer you initial question, I have an AR just because. You're right, I don't need it. Just like I don't need a lot of things in life. I won't try to justify having one because there really isn't a good reason. I bought it because, well, why buy a target rifle that shoots single shot 22? I mean, that's boring. ARs are fun to shoot. That's pretty much it, really. - 445 opinions shared on Other topic.
For when there are groups of violent rioters and the police don't stop them because the liberal mayors defunded the police.
Also, people only worry about guns that look like that because that is what the media tells them to worry about. There are better, more effective firearms if someone just wanted to kill others. -
1. Cause criminals typically have guns that aren't just handguns even if they are majority criminals also carry other types.
2. Cause they are fun to shoot
3. Because why not
If you are a responsible gun owner than it should be fine, it's the outliers that ruin it for everyone. Also criminals most often then not carry guns illegally. -
Something that said some psychoanalyst, maybe men want to compensate for something in owning such a thing
-
Nice Camera.
However about guns... I am not from USA so from hearing about their constant school shootings only from overseas media one could start to believe that some people probably consider the best "gun for self-defence" to be something like the "assault" rifle or a self-defence RPG Launcher? -
I don't get it either. Look at all the world wars (all the centuries and knowledge and people still fight). I'm convinced people aren't happy if there isn't destruction and violence. No need for guns or drugs, both should be eliminated from the earth completely. But I guess that something that's impossible, even if the majority wanted it (ie different countries, rules/laws etc)? Why they were ever created even? Probably for hunting I'm assuming, then it just progressed.

This is what we call willful ignorance and a poor attempt at trolling. Do 30 year old men still carry the logic and reasoning of babies these days? People like you make me want to go get one tbh. Just to piss you off but supporting the industry since you are so annoying about it. Waaah waaah cry more. The AR-15 is a highly practical rifle. Low recoil, moderate power, lightweight, decent capacity, easy to operate. I shoot you could always... leave if you don't like them that much. 😁
-
Lol. That is not a gun. But I own a CZ Scorpion, because I can and it is just me. Not counting the other two guns in the house in different areas. I have them to protect myself
