I second Ripp!!

"Ditto"

Nowhere in the US Constitution does it state the type of firearm permissable. The Amendments to our Constitution are RIGHTS and not priveleges--An individual should be permitted to possess any of the firearms under discussion, no problem.

I will still take the Ruger over the AR-15 due to more reliability even with less accuracy.If I anm concerned about a long range affair then there are other guns of preference--308 semiauto's!!
