Exactly. And if your neighborhood is that damned bad, just move. Where in the hell do you live anyways, Eastern Ukraine? I just don't get why anyone even cares.

I'd guess they purposely made it look as aggressive as possible, to make NY look silly.

My neighbor says the price on new AR-15s is dropping fast as supply catches up to demand.

Turns out it's the pistol grip that makes them so deadly.

The sick bitch who designed this should be left alone in a room with the first victim's family at the hands of his design.

Human garbage and he doubtlessly thinks himself cleaver.

I presently don't have any 'long' firearms, just pistols, and it's never occurred to me that I should go out every so often to buy a new one. It's sort of bizarre that these things are commodities with their own economic dynamic that apparently demands frequent refreshment/turn-over.

The firearms industry has a problem in that their products, if taken care of in a reasonable manner, last indefinitely. In addition they don't become obsolete very fast either. For example, a 1911 Pistol, which is basically unchanged since John Browning first designed it over 100 years ago, is still more than adequate for self defense today.

So I guess what they have to do is create some kind of artificial demand so that they can keep selling in volume.

yeah
buy Black Rain AR-15s before Obama gets them taken off the market.
Same reason everyone is running to Walmart to buy ammo all the time.

I'd enjoy that kind of target shooting too. Looks much more fun than fixed paper targets.
