Government Monopoly of Force: This could be a CSGV recruiting poster.
From The Patriot Perspective -- CSGV: “AR-15… The Weapon Of Choice For Violent Insurrectionists”
Well, now, I can put the lie to that one. As one of the chief "violent insurrectionists" in CSGV's world-view, I would like to declare before the world that I prefer the M-14 platform to any Mouse Gun.

And the whole time I thunk my garand was the berries. I must be STUUPID.
Mike, AMEN to that. I am an older (let's say Vietnam-draft-age) man who belongs to a college gun club. The kids (male and female) are crazy about ARs. But to me, paraphrasing Crocodile Dundee, "That's a battle rifle? That's not a battle rifle. Now THIS [holding up a M-14/M1A]- THIS is a battle rifle!" One thing I will admit however: an AR is far better for interior home defense that either a M1A or Uncle Joe's double barrel shotgun. But if you see at a distance bad guys coming and want to stop them from getting into 5.56 range, use an M14. Just don't fire "two blasts" into the air!
naw...........to qoute a former gnagsta rapper turned family movie actor--"AK-47 is the tool"
I personally like the AK for serveral reasons--I like the simplicity of it, I like the 7.62x39 ammo; its got some wocka flacka to it but its not like 30-06, or 7.62x54r in that both of those hurt my shoulder probably worse than the target when I fire them(Im a small guy, 6' tall and 145 pounds)--last but not least, the ak design is so simple it can be built from scratch with the tools in a high school metal shop class
Horwitz even mentioned a buddy of mine in his written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
That's so damned cool!
"El Guapo" even mentioned a buddy of mine (bleated about him, really) in his written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Gotta love that.
Using CSGV logic, the Republic we now live in must be illegitimate and the Founding Fathers were mere traitors to the Crown, as they had no right to take up arms against the British Empire.
This form of absurdist thinking permeates academia, the press at large, and now has infiltrated our government.
Many believe the system is now so corrupted by these "progressive" agent provocateurs that the democratic process is unlikely able to right it.
Let us hope not.
Oops--didn't mean to comment twice. Hadn't realized the first one went through.
The absolute best all around firearm, bar none, is the one you have with you when you need it.
How do you explain to a statist that just because something is a right - or even a duty - the fact that it is a right doesn't stop the state from declaring it illegal. Of course insurrection is against the law. Of course a tyrannical government will fight to continue. States aren't in the business of going out of business.
I kinda like 7.62X51 m'self. Like the greater reach. And it isn't bad up close and personal, either. For home defense I'll stick to my Baby Eagle .40. A 12 gau. pump ain't a bad backup, either.
One advantage to the AR-15 platform is that former loyalists (former as in no longer active - if you get my drift) will have reloads for the taking - along with rations, uniform items and anything else they're carrying.
I like my BREN and my Garands and variants. Ain't gonna pick up ammo off the dead NATO scum for either. M-14 would be dicey too.
You can like what you want and you can be pragmatic about the real world. I like my MAS better than a M-14, as it's a better designed rifle. The Century arms conversions are garbage and there were only a handful properly done in 7.62 NATO by MAS.
You fight a war with the tools that work and you can feed off the enemy, not off with something you wish you had ammo for.
Pragmatism, it's more important than being a prepper.
No offense intended to people's favorite gear, very much intended to speak to REALITY instead of daydreams. Want to capture 7.62 NATO and spend a lot of time de-linking the belts you probably won't capture? That's your daydream, but it won't work well in the real world.
Call me any name you want except "unobservant".
I've got a Len build I have way too much money in, but it's .303 and I wouldn't go to war against the US military with it, as it wouldn't be logistically practical, not that I'm encouraging a revolution. THEY ARE DOING THAT. If you can afford it, though, Len, one of the best mechanics on the planet for cool stuff.
