3. It's the only gun I've ever owned that elicits either drooling or comments like "that thing is only intended to kill people!"

1. small penis

2. voices in my head

3. new job at post office

[#32]

I got the first one because
1) Liberals don't want me to have one.
2) Mom doesn't want me to have one.
3) I *DO* want me to have one.

I got the rest of them because
1) The first was addicting.
2) Having friends (also gun owners) refer to my collection as the "arsenal" makes me feel good [:D]
3) I can defend a small group from these guys: [(:|)][>]:)][(:)], oh yeah, and of course, [NI]

the question was about why you chose to own an ar15. not to own just any arm. "bear arms" is more than just guns.

I always liked getting a faraway look, saying "yeah" and petting my -180B's upper.

civilian version of the longest duration service rifle. it's got some history.

not unpleasant and relatively inexpensive to shoot

it's a cute little rifle.

After learning it, maintaining it, shooting it, 'walking' with it, running with it, jumping with it, swimming with it,shooting it, carrying it, being signed for it since '71, it just seemed natural to own it...
