Too SCARY!
I like AR-15s. "Too scary!" you say? "Nobody needs one of these semi-automatic machine guns. After all, they have only one purpose: killing a lot of people as quickly as possible." Hmmm... WRONG.
What's so "scary" about them? Is it because they are all black and mysterious? Do they remind you of wars, past and present? Have you been listening to Di-Fi, by any chance? Do you exhibit signs of retarded sexual and emotional maturity?
Consider this comparison, if you will:
Which rifle is scarier? THIS:
or THIS:
OK, let me guess: the black one is scarier, right? Because it LOOKS scary, and it's, well, a machine gun! Right?
BZZZZTTT!!!
WRONG, Grasshopper!
Actually, neither one is scary, and neither one is a machine gun. They are BOTH semi-automatic. What? A semi-automatic machine gun? No such thing. "Semi-automatic" means that the rifle will fire one bullet each time the trigger is pulled. A machine gun is fully automatic, and is not generally available to the general public. Machine guns are most often used by the military while at war.
The scary black rifle shown above is semi-automatic, meaning that it is just like the brown hunting rifle that we compared it with. In fact, the brown rifle shown above is actually much more powerful and destructive than the black AR-15 due to the larger caliber cartridge it is chambered for.
In fact, the above-illustrated AR-15 was actually my wife's personal rifle.
The AR-15 is a semi-automatic copy of a military M16. It LOOKS like an M16, but it isn't one. Don't be afraid.
Would it be less scary if it were painted pink?
On second thought, that is kinda scary, now that you mention it...
"Why would anyone need one of those, anyway?" you ask. Good question. You're right. I don't need one. However, like it or not, any honest, law-abiding citizen (even YOU) can own one. If I want one, I can buy one, and there's nothing wrong with it. I might ask, "Why do you need those expensive golf clubs?" or "Why do you need that gas-guzzling SUV? It looks like an assault vehicle." Same answer: You DON'T need them. It sure is nice to have the option, though, if it makes you happy.
Which one of these is more scary?:
Why would anybody need one?
