Your guide to semi-automatic rifles

39. I didn't say there was a FUNCTIONAL difference.

Please!!

I do care that the particular style that's popular can easily be fitted with large inexpensive magazines, ammunition is relatively cheap, and lots of accessories are available that make the gun easier to handle and conceal (for instance the folding stock on the one used in Orlando).

So, form, fit, function (ergonomics) and economics are why the AR style is so popular. Sure, 7.62 and others have the same basic function, but only an idiot moron would imply that a gun enthusiast sees them all the same - I know I as a gun owner I would never buy something that shot ridiculously expensive ammunition or that has crappy ergonomics and/or recoil etc. Reading through their Forums makes it clear what their priorities are - and they are same as any person with common sense would want - the coolest fake military looking penis that can be modified to fuck they can get for the least amount of money - same as with car enthusiasts!

Now if we're talking about legislation, surely the piece I just saw on TV isn't what we need - it showed 2 identical looking guns - one was called - well you know what I'm going to say. I'm to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old shit - real solutions involve making the purchase and ownership nearly as painful as owning a fully automatic weapon.
