Meaning of $349 complete ARs for the Second Amendment

[LiveLife]

Maybe I over did it.

And you are overdoing it for this thread.

This thread is not about how many thousands we can spend on a rifle rather affordability of AR15 to make it more "common in use" to support the Second Amendment enforceable by court rulings. So more people being able to buy AR15s is helping our cause.

I spent over $180,000 during past 30 years on gun related stuff (mostly on ammunition) but that's irrelevant to this thread.

And you are overdoing it for this thread.

The only thing overdone here is your response to me. Choctaw and I were discussing the cost of our rifles. He seemed to think $1,400 was excessive. I think you usually get what you pay for. I'm sure, I will build a cheaper rifle at some point but for now, I bought mid and top end components because I knew exactly what I wanted from this rifle and $1,400 seemed reasonable to me for what I got and this was my first build, I didn't want to do it on the cheap. This rifle is special to me. If people want cheap AR15s, I'm truly happy that they are available for them and I wish them well with their purchase. It isn't what I wanted and there's not enough room left in my safe for cheap firearms that are of no particular use to me anyways.

Nobody is bragging about money here except you

As the OP, I started this thread to "celebrate" an opportunity to greatly expand AR15 ownership to possibly significantly increase "in common use" the courts and the Supreme Court will use to rule on "modern" expansion of Second Amendment.

There are numerous threads on customizing and higher end AR15s. This is not that thread.

This thread is SPECIFIC to the "normalization" of AR15s becoming common and part of "modern" lifestyle like cell phones and email/texting to the similar expansion of First Amendment as modernization of the Second Amendment. THIS ASPECT OF AR15 IS VERY IMPORTANT! Let me repeat that again. Modern expansion of the Second Amendment to include magazine fed semi-auto pistol was instrumental to DC v Heller ruling and AR15s becoming more common in use will be instrumental for future gun rights cases the US Supreme Court will rule on.

Just as PSA played a crucial part in proliferating the ownership of AR15s, price drop to $350 will shatter certain mental barriers for potential buyers which is at below popular pistol pricing. And if so, just as Ruger/Taurus/Hi-Point have sold millions of lower cost pistols to make them "common in use", so will PSA/Primary Arms/BCA in making AR15s more "common in use".

That's the meaning of this thread, true reality of $350 AR15s in 2022.

So, let's keep discussion of higher priced AR15s in other threads and focus on celebration of proliferation of AR15s on this thread.

Thank you.
