Hi, I'm KyCruffler and I have have an AR-15 addiction. It started innocently enough. .22's and .410 rabbit guns as a kid. Then .22 hand guns and on up through .38's and 45's as the years passed. Bought the odd sporting gun here and there (you now, "gateway" guns). But I could control it. A few years ago started moving into the harder stuff - milsurps. M-1's, 1903 Springfields, 1917 Enfields, Mauser K98k's, that kind of thing. Even got my C & R, but I felt like I was still in contol. Then, a couple of months back, moved up to my first AR-15, a Bushy. Damn, knew I was hooked with the first shot! Found myself spending time at work on internet auction sites, placing big orders from ammoman.com, drooling over other AR-15's. Then, day before yesterday it happened. Was in a nearby town on business and wandered into a gun shop I know there. Was just going to look, I swear it! And there it was, a Bush 16' Mforgery! Next thing I knew my hands were sweaty and trembling. I touched it, held it, sighted down it. Felt it's heft and balance. Tried to think of all the reasons not to. Tried to think of the wife and kids (not easy to do since I don't have any!). But, I couldn't help myself - bought it on the spot.
Brothers, where does this end? I think it's out of control now! I see myself lying in the gutter some day, clutching an arm load of AR-15's! Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a cure? Or, do we care!
