My S&W is designed to defend me and my family, I could also purchase an AR-15 to perform the same task and also be used for target practice and hunting (I think, I don't hunt).
But many have bought into the fear that the AR-15 is dangerous and should not be sold.
I will say I doubt you will ever see a good argument about why they should be legal; however, understand the problem may not lie with the argument. So we will conclude this round and round.
I could also go on about how the AR-15 and other civilian versions of long guns designed for military use are not the most effective choice for defending your home, hunting, or target shooting.
And no, the problem has definitely been with the argument. Have a good 4th.
