    Affordability has never been my concern. Ammo is everywhere, and it’s cheaper for an AK, so I don’t understand the ammo thing.

    It’s an us vs them thing to own an AK over an AR. It’s also why I will never drive a truck or wear a red hat.

      The ammo/parts thing was more about how without domestic production there room for it to be affected by changes to import laws or sanctions.

      Personally I’m not worried about using something that some other group seems to like. I want what’s practical and fits my needs. There is a reason ARs are so common today. They’re just good and can be built/modified to fit a lot of people or use cases. If I really wanted something different just to be different I’d get something like a vz 58 or some kind of space gat. It’s still kinda hard for me to justify the expense for that kind of reason and I have to rein it in a bit as I kinda want all the things.

      …then where do you put your gun rack, or you “cum n take it, librul” graphic? On your fuel-efficient and sensibly purchased sedan?

        If you like being offended… I make $61.02 per hour without any degree and I work from home. My Honda costs less than a single paycheck and insurance is $30. Sig P320 is my car gun btw.
