spaceghotiFrom military weapon to cultural symbol: how the AR-15 has defined the US gun debate
BaldProphetSure, but the rifle in question is not, and has never been a military weapon. The premise is that this is a "weapon of war", as the redcoats like to describe it.
Besides, the "assault-style features" are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the functionality of the rifle.
Semi-Hemi-DemigodIf they're just cosmetic and have no bearing on the functionality, does that make whoever uses them a lamewad cosplayer?
hiddengoatPretty much. There's no real reason to own them outside of jacking yourself off over how many Black people and MEX-EEE-CANZ you're going to kill in the coming race war.
They're so lame they'd be laughable if they weren't dangerous. Which is probably why they buy so many goddamn guns: They're pathetic and they know it.
