I have a few ARs.

They are not self defense weapons. In the unlikely event I would ever use a firearm for self defense it would probably be a shotgun or a pistol.

However, I do enjoy going to the range and shooting the ARs. It is a fun thing to do occasionally.

I keep them locked up and they are not a danger to anybody else. I have intentions of using them in a crime.

Besides, they would be great to have if 90% of the population turns into brain eating zombies, right?
