Look, I'm of the belief that they're no logical reason to own an AR-15, but at the same time, I feel like if we give the slightest inch, the anti-gun people will demand more and more guns be made illegal until we cannot defend ourselves and end up in a Venezuela or Australia-like state where the state can impose their will without fear of rebuke. Think of it this way. We don't want kids to die in school shootings, but at the same time we shouldn't want them to grow up as prisoners to an overpowered political system. You can't simultaneously guarantee freedom and safety. Short term sacrifices hurt in the long term.

EDIT: Chill, people. I'm allowed to have my opinion, as are you, I'm not saying you can't own one I'm just saying I don't see the reason why you need one. Don't jump down my throat.
