Colt will stop making ar-15 rifles for the civilian market?
Does anyone else think that colt "ar-15"s are a bit overpriced and overrated anyway?

Colt does make a high quality rifle. Some say it's overpriced. Others disagree. Cheaper rifles can be purchased. Far more expensive rifles can be purchased as well. Judge for yourself.
I'm certain this post will bring out the idiots who want to ban AR-15s and any other firearm that look scary to them.

@BizSuitStacy "Look scary"? The AR-15 is a slightly modified version of the military's M-4 rifle. It has 30 round magazines. It is a weapon of war. The AR-15 and similar weapons are the weapon of choice for mass shootings; Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, Parkland high, Sutherland Springs TX, Orlando FL, and on and on.
I have been a gun owner since my teens. I support the right to own guns, but I also recognize the need for restrictions on semi-auto, large magazine capacity weapons. We need screening laws to keep dangerous people from getting access to guns and ammo. America is full of meth heads, drunks, criminals, hateful fanatics, loony-tunes crazy people and just plain irresponsible idiots who couldn't be trusted with a toy Nerf gun, much less a real firearm.

@badminton a weapon of war? It's never been issued to the military.
Do you know the difference between an AR-15 and a Beretta M9? One is an actual weapon of war. The other is an AR-15.
If you were such a gun afficianado as you claim, you'd realize an AR-15 is nothing more than a semi-automatic rifle. But every liberal gun grabber has to call it a "weapon of war" or a "weapon of mass destruction" or a "killing machine" or "only belongs on the battlefield" It's a damn lie every time you say it.
By the way...how many people are actually killed by "assault weapons" on an annual basis?

@BizSuitStacy The AR-15 is virtually identical to the military's M-4, expect for being semi-auto and the M-4 has a few features related to full-auto/3-round burst firing. The point is no civilian has any legitimate need whatever for a firearm with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds.
In 2019, back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio brought the total number of mass killings so far this year to 23, leaving 131 people dead. There were 25 mass killings in 2018, claiming 140 lives, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, Northeastern University and USA Today. Hundreds of people were wounded.
Americans are more likely to die from gun violence than many leading causes of death combined, with some 11,000 people in the US killed in firearm assaults each year. Gun Violence Archive data shows that more than 14,000 people died from gun-related violence in the US in 2018, and more than 28,000 others were injured.

@badminton oh gee...you know the difference between the military M16, M4 variants and an AR-15. Golf clap. Shall I toss you a cracker for being a good parrot?
Virtually identical is NOT identical. Why the hell do you think they don't issue AR-15s to our military? Select fire is a major f**king difference.
You can't even provide a valid reason why they should be banned. You claim to know about guns...the classic new gun grabber line..."I support gun ownership but..."
What makes the AR-15 so much more dangerous than other guns, Mr. gun expert?
How many people die each year from AR-15s v handguns?
How many bullets do you need in a gun fight?
How long does it take to swap a magazine in a cattle-pen style shooting vs a true gun fight?
Every American patriot should own an AR-15.
Anytime I hear someone parrot the narrative, "no citizen needs an AR-15" That's when you need an AR-15.
I can think of 1.1 million other reasons. That is the number of home invasions in the US. And the AR-15 is the perfect home defense firearm with a STANDARD 30 round magazine.
Molon labe, bitch.
