Subject: firearm friendly community?
Anyone who aspires to live in a “firearm friendly community” obviously isn’t concerned about how many domestic violence incidents involve guns. Anytime there are guns in the hands of angry people, someone ends up getting hurt. Or dead.
Assault with a deadly weapon is a serious crime. Referring to a deadly weapon as an “AR” is tacitly admitting that it isn’t friendly. It does nothing to diminish the fact that it is an Automatic Rifle, an assault weapon that is intended to rapidly and repeatedly fire. Indiscriminately. At a moving target, or a crowd of people. A very deadly weapon. Appropriate for use in a combat zone.
Why anyone would want to live in a combat zone, I have no idea. But if you want to live in a “firearm friendly community” and you think owning an assault rifle is the best way to defend yourself, then a combat zone is a much more accurate description of the kind of community you imagine living in.
Hardly what I would call “friendly.”
