tv program opened my eyes

[Adam Helmer]

Don,

I am on the wrong side of age 65 and the AR just does not seem to be a hunting rifle I would ever use, BUT that being said, I see NO reason why they should be banned in Kalifornia. I prefer my Krags, Mausers, Enfields, Remingtons, etc., and others have every right under the Second Amendment to use a Matchlock, AR, or whatever they chose to employ in the hunting field.

WHEN guns are banned on "Their LOOKS", then we are on the slippery slope where ALL semi-auto guns like my Sweet 16 and my Garand are destined for the smelter!

I was issued an AR M16 in July 1965 while a GI and I did not like it then and like it less now. The world has turned many times since the .223 round and 1965. The .260 and other better rounds have moved the AR into the 21st Century. I fully support the use of the AR in hunting situations by those who would probably pass my M1898 Krags by as archaic. That is ok. It is an indvididual choice and a Constitutional Right that I fully support.
