I have a brand new Rock River Operator Elite (5.56) sitting in my safe;
awaiting its turn, for a trip too the range~!

+10, I couldnt of said this better myself DOM, hell who cares if they are bought and go straight into the ground in a "Just-n-case"? at least they stepped up and bought a gun and stashed it for that RED DAWN event! (like that reference guys?)What I dont care for, is the idea among the "Elite Internet Gun People" that its somehow not cool to buy guns that you dont get out and shoot.
For every person that buys a gun and never shoots it, that is more in our ranks, more ownership, more people sympathetic to our cause.
People bought guns during the obama crazy because they <very rightly> realized that this may be their last chance to ever own a military style rifle. so they added it to their collection.
Wether or not they get it out to shoot is A. none of our business. B. totally irrelevent. and C. completly 100% unverifiable.
Saying that 90% of people who buy a certain type of rifle dont use them, or inferring that they are some kind of sheep/herd mentality, just doesnt help our cause.
Especially something as "hot button" as AR style rifles are in the media / with liberals.
Its a free country, people can buy what they want, when they want, and if they intend to use it or not thats their business.
A related question is how many non-reloaders bought reloading setups when the ammo dried up, believing the only ammo they'd get was what they loaded. My guess on that one is several.
This is the stupidest thread ever. 1. why do you care? 2. do you really think people buy a gun as fun as an AR15 and NOT shoot it? 3. How can we know? 4. Why should we care? 5. the simple fact that people BOUGHT guns, helps our cause, our numbers, and to increase the industry. Stupid thread.
