Why do we need an AR15 and 30-round magazines

**Bang** · February 22nd, 2020, 10:53 AM

In a Guns and Ammo email, containing several articles, one was titled as above. It gave some examples of multiple assailants fended off with the combination.

Remember when LTCF were Pistol Permits, and in some may issue states an applicant had to plead a need. A lot of that has been resolved in positive fashion.

It's time we stopped responding to loaded questioning of our need to possess.

A good end of conversation response should be, show me where in the state and federal constitutions proving need is a requirement.

Need versus want is liberal psychobabble. Need is static. Want is a dynamic that advances us.

When the left proposes no need, don't play into their phony argument.

I need them. It is essential to my happiness.

Between us...

...if you need 30 rounds, you're either a lousy marksman, or in a world of shit.

The thing is, your "bad shot" comment isn't relevant and you never know when you're going to be in a world of shit.

Its hard enough hunting a bedded down deer let alone one that is running.
I say 60 round magclips should be mandatory. ar's are for girly boys anyway...

It’s totally relevant. Many* think their large capacity/extra magazines will compensate for their lack of proper marksmanship/tactical shooting.

*not pointing at those in this thread

Better to have and not need, than need and not have,
"Time out!! I have to reload!" is not a good idea to say in the middle of a gunfight.

Or..

C. You're in a 3 gun or DMR match.
D. You're hunting prairie dogs on a good day.
E. You're out fishing overnight in the Gulf in places known for drug runners--that's a LOT of places between Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
F. You're hog hunting in many places I can think of.
G. You like buying mags that cost $8-15 apiece instead of $20 for 1/3 to 1/4 the capacity.

Why even explain?
All my years growing up when a person asked something that wasn't any of their business
… It was common to reply …."who are you my mother?"
That about sums it up , I think
Answering questions from people who really aren't interested in the answers always baffled me anyhow
