Pardon me, but the AR-15 is chambered in a groundhog caliber and most hunters around here use calibers that would make you deader faster, barring head shots. My father worked for Fairchild Aircraft Corporation and transferred into their Armalite division during the development of the weapon that became the M-16. I believe it was the people who bought the patent (Colt) from Fairchild who created the civilian AR-15. It has been said that Gene Stoner wouldn't have wanted civilians to buy AR-15s and that would probably be true, but only because he didn't get any royalties. He would have preferred that they would buy the Armalite AR-180 which he did willingly peddle to the masses.
I also I might note that the company hunting trips were almost legendary according to dad.
Your mind goes to dark places... Don't think that's a convincing argument
