Nor is it a hunting rifle or much good for home defense.
Wrong....it is a pretty good weapon for home defense....the AR-15 fires a round that is light and breaks up in drywall.....so you don't have to worry as much about hitting a neighbor....the recoil is almost non existent so women can shoot it easily compared to a shot gun.......there are three points of contact with the rifle, which aids shooting accuracy, and yet you can still have a light and laser on it without tying up a hand.....the regular magazine has more than enough rounds to deal with having to shoot the weapon without having to change the magazine....since you could very well start the encounter by being injured by an attacker, and the adrenaline will make it more difficult to change magazines...
Also...if you are in an isolated location, a farm, or a ranch on the border.......an AR-15 and several magazines may mean the difference between surviving till the police arrive...which could be an hour or more, and dying.........
Another good thing.....since you anti gun nuts have given it a reputation.......any criminal that sees an innocent victim with one will tend to over estimate it as a weapon....
So you are wrong...the AR-15 is a good self defense choice for some people....
You live in a fantasy where one day you will be in an extended firefight with a band of heavily armed interlopers. Pure fantasy.
A rifle is no good for home defense. If I am awakened by noise in my home, I'm reaching for my shotgun. In the darkened house, I only need point and not aim. Even if I just wing an intruder, he's messed up. So easy to miss with a rifle.
Showing you know nothing and are talking our of your ass......a shotgun pellet spread doesn't spread for quite a distance...definitely not inside a house......so yes...you still have to try to aim what you shoot at.....
