More times than not when I am in a friend or work setting and if the topic of guns comes up and the people in the conversation or in the room hear AR15 or AK 47 or see a pic of my collection they get all flustered and seem to ALWAYS say the SAME thing... "It's LEGAL to own one of THOSE!?!" it seems to me the Anti-gun enthusiasts have successfully associated these weapons with "BAD" connotations. Anyone have any idea if there is some kind of a solution? Public Education but hmmmm....

He's right. You need a good
shotgun to hunt ducks. You need an AK-47 so that gun-banning presidents don't usurp power from The People.

This is what I think is funny, so many think 2A rights are for hunting or sports, way I was taught(in public school) it is so the people have the power to fight the govt in the event it is ever needed.
