Bah!! Humbug!!! I don't really hate very much, except Democrats.
I don't like Mini's. Not from reading about them, but from having owned one and from observing them at or local range.
I don't care what anybody shoots, as long as they're not shooting a Mini to my left at the range. They throw cases at supersonic levels, which I consider to be dangerous.
I find the AR more reliable, more accurate, easier to disassemble for cleaning, etc., etc., etc. In the Grand Scheme of Things, there isn't much difference in the price of an AR and a Mini.
BTW, I like my Glock; my 70 Series Gold Cups; my Woodsman Target; my Belgium Lt. 12 Browning; my SKB shotguns;my 29 Smith, etc., etc., my canine friend, Pepper, the Democrat-Biting Dog.
