So, WHY would anybody NEED an AR 15? Why is it something that even needs to be asked? You don't need any special reason to have something, you need some special reason to not let people have something. With the AR-15 there is no special reason, unless you count its looks and I don't.

Because of ongoing calls to ban or restrict the capacity of AR-style rifles—or what some gun illiterates refer to as “assault rifles,”—it’s worth noting that murders by all rifles (as reported by the FBI) totaled 248. “Other weapons,” aka clubs, bats, rocks and so on, were used in 1,610 murders. Knives or cutting instruments were cited as the instruments in 1,567 murders. In fact, the total number of murders committed by assaulters’ hands and feet totaled 660—more than double the homicides committed by all rifles. ht unclewest
