[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1416596, member: 71039"] Banning ARs wouldn't stop these horrible shootings. I don't own an AR-15, I personally haven't seen a need for one. To each there own though - I have several friends who have them and take them out coyote hunting when we go. Other than my buddies being a little too quick on the trigger and missing because they "have a quick follow up shot" it hasn't bothered me(I know AR shooters aren't all bad shots, apparently my buddies are). A humble bolt action has always served me well. Would banning ARs have an impact on me right now? I don't think so, but how many years before they come knocking on my door wanting my favorite elk or coyote gun or my handguns? It is a slippery slope. I have a couple kids in Middle School right now and I have stopped and wondered if my life were directly impacted from one of these shootings would I feel differently? Who knows...maybe? I hope I don't ever have to answer that question. Nobody talks about the mini 14's and the AK 47's - probably because the aren't being used in these shootings, but if ARs are banned there are other guns and other means to cause destruction unfortunately.
