There are tens of millions of AR-15/AK-47 rifles across America, and Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner’s Secrets column wanted to know why the semiautomatics are so popular.
This from thelibertyloft.com.
He discovered they are extremely accurate, can be easily assembled in thousands of different configurations depending on wants and needs, and are fun to shoot.
And, he also learned, that ARs and AKs are dead on when it comes to being the best defensive weapon “in a hypothetical breakdown of society.”
Bedard’s report explained that Drew Miller, of Fortitude Ranch survival camps, told Secrets that
[S]elf-defense is a more important reason to have the firearm than hunting.
He said:
A standard rifle won’t defend against the hoards in a collapse, but a better defense comes from ARs/AKs and their high-capacity magazines.
Miller warned:
Fortitude Ranch believes that the biggest and best argument for semi-automatic rifles with high-capacity magazines is their use for defense in a collapse.
This is the reason preppers and survival communities like Fortitude Ranch buy these weapons and high-capacity magazines.
If you are trying to defend your family when there is no police protection, you could face a marauder group with dozens of armed thieves and killers coming at you.
A five-round shotgun or bolt action rifle with just a small clip, and you’ll be dead quickly.
Joe-Joe Biden and Scatter-Head Harris, in an agenda that appears to want Americans less able to defend themselves, have been urging bans on the weapons and parts.
Secrets reported Justin Anderson, of Hyatt Guns in Charlotte, North Carolina, confirmed their value:
They are a perfect self-defense firearm for a dizzying array of reasons, including low recoil, great ergonomics, and easy customization.
