Yes, I bought an AR 15 before the election, named it Hillary. Would have rather had a new CZ .22 LR (got the CZ a couple weeks ago). Still don't know if I'll ever seriously shoot the AR. Oh well...
+1 Yep, me too. I'm not a rifle guy. I haven't shot a rifle, or had a place to shoot a rifle in almost 20 years. I've never owned an AR-15 before, and I had no real desire to own one.
I resisted for a long time, but, I ultimately succumbed to [...] the "if I don't buy one now, I might not EVER be able to buy one" hysteria. I don't know why it would have mattered then, since it had never mattered before. But, just before the election, I wound up with an M&P Sport 2.
The only place where I can shoot this gun is the range where I go to shoot handgun. They also have a 50 yard indoor rifle range. But, so what? 50 yards for an AR-15? What's the point?
To make matters worse, I spent over $300 on 1500 rounds of ammo for it. That I will probably never use. Ever.
Every now and then, though, I pull it out of the safe and strike a Rambo pose in front of the mirror. Standing there in my polo shirt and khakis, it makes me look evil, so at least that's entertaining.
