Top 5 Reasons You NEED An AR-15

NEED An AR-15
uscca.com/colionnoir
Anytime you have a conversation about guns in this country, this question will inevitably come up.
Why Does Anyone “NEED” an AR-15?
Most people who ask this question are asking this question to truly understand.
However, everyone else who asks this question is doing so from a place of deceit because they know the second amendment is part of the bill of rights and not the bill of needs, so they know there isn't a NEED requirement for which guns you can own under the SECOND AMENDMENT.
That said, this question comes up pretty often so for the people who genuinely want to know why you NEED an AR15 I'm going to give you the Top 5 reasons.
However, as important as the type of gun is when it comes to self-defense, it's also about the training and ensuring you're prepared.
That's why I'm a USCCA member.
It's an easy way to cover all my bases if I ever had to use my gun in self-defense.
I could find myself in a costly legal case to prove that using my gun was justified.
The beautiful thing about a USCCA membership is that you don't just get self-defense insurance; you also get access to their treasure trove of education and training programs.

Mr Noir I really like you content but I would say that “Shall not be infringed” means just that. I am going to say that you are not for the constitution because you agree with the laws that go against “shall not be infringed”. Evey law on the books that a political parasite put against that just rips that paper up just a little more. Give an inch that take a mile and just look at the laws and it looks as if they took 10s of 1000s of miles

As a former military member, and living in Alaska, knowing that the vast majority of my neighbors keep firearms, I definitely feel safer than a lot of Americans in their current state. Thank you for pointing out the fact that armed citizens make a huge difference in overall safety, compared to "Gun Free Zones". Don't be afraid of guns... they aren't evil or good... they don't pull the trigger. If local, state, or federal governments make more laws that limit or decrease the number of American citizens that can own guns, it only makes everyone more vulnerable to criminals who don't care what the laws say. Making more laws isn't the answer. Enforcing existing laws would help. Some politicians seem to think they can infringe on your Constitutional right to keep and carry firearms... violating their oath to defend the Constitution when sworn into office. Great stuff... as usual from Colion Noir

[@emilyemisarmiento3503]

"gun free zones" are useless unless EVERYONE in the nation is in on the social contract to NOT use guns or heavily restrict themselves. There's primary research papers that have again and again shown how gun free zones on a LARGE SCALE usually national is the safest way to go. Or. If you're going to be armed like Switzerland then HEAVY RESTRICTIONS is also very safe. Population size is a small factor that doesn't change much, the size of the U.S is irrelevant if you can regulate and heavily restrict who can have a gun or not.

I’ll be up front, in a lot of ways I’m left leaning, and there are some things that this community might not agree with me about. But I’m very pro 2A, and I’m grateful for you responsible and steadfast gun owners out there, and happy to have someone like Colion out there being a proper face for our rights. I have friends in other countries who simply don’t understand. They say well if people didn’t have so many guns we wouldn’t feel the need to be armed heavily to defend ourselves. Great, but HOW can I have a GUARANTEE that NO ONE who might want to harm me will be armed as such, and furthermore, even if not one citizen had a gun in this country, criminal or not, an average man would absolutely have an unfair advantage against my 5’2” girlfriend, and a big man or multiple could take me down with even a simple weapon. This isn’t the movies, and we aren’t all comic book superheroes who can defeat the bad guys with our hands. Once again, thank you all for standing strong for our rights, and being safe and responsible firearms owners!

[@Steamaroon]

I was arguing with some guy under a gun post and within 2 comments he inevitably goes to the “why do you need a rifle that shoots such a large round”. I then explained to him in great detail how the actual projectile of a 2.23/5.56 round is basically the same width as a 22s, they just travel much faster. I also told him about how most pistol rounds are in fact larger and heavier than a 5.56 projectile and are only not as powerful because they’re not as fast. I also attempted to explain the difference between a hollow point and a penetrator round but I guess he couldn’t grasp the concept of barely-advanced ballistic behaviors.

Plus, you have the option of tracer, light armor piercing, match grade, hollow point, etc. 2. Magazines - there is a WIDE variety of magazine manufacturers, and a variety of capacities (10rd, 20rd, 30 and 40rd magazines), plus drum magazines from 50rd, 60rd, 100rd, and higher, and even belt-fed. 3. Spare parts - plenty of spare parts available should you have a weapons failure with your rifle, plus a plethora of after-market manufacturers producing a monstrously wide market of products. 4. Ease of use - from handling, shooting, cleaning, and care/maintenance, there are plenty of people with enough knowledge, training, and experience for a civilian to be adequately trained to use an AR 15 rifle. 5. Versatility - from lasers, flashlights, flare kits, shotgun attachments, red dots, scopes/optics, suppressors, etc; you can customize your AR to accomplish whatever task needed for your own uses.

I don't know that I entirely agree with that. I would say covering the bases of capability is more important than owning a bunch of guns that all do more or less the same job. This is the list I have been following since I started kiting myself out as a civilian. (In order.) 1. A quality AR-15 or something like it with basic sights. 2. Weapon light mounted on the rifle. 3. A red dot sight for the rifle. 4. A quality handgun. 5. A light mounted on the handgun. 6. Holster for the handgun. 7. Body Armor with some capability to carry spare ammunition. 8. A suppressor for the rifle. 9. Quality helmet. Either ballistic or bump, up to you. 10. Quality night vision and its support equipment to mount to the helmet. 11. All the ammo you can afford. I emphasize quality because yes these things are expensive, and the nice stuff is even more expensive. The truth is that you can try to cheap out on these things and risk something that will fail you, or just save the extra money and get something that wont fail you up front.

As a criminal defense attorney with 16 years of experience in Memphis, I can tell you that the typical home invasion has multiple robbers. I say robbers because, if you are home, they are going to try to rob you, and they are highly likely to be armed. There's no negotiation that's going to help with the issue, and there's a decent chance that they are going to shoot the resident(s) to eliminate witnesses. The best weapon, like Colin said, is an AR. It likely will enable the resident to bring overwhelming force against the threat, and when you are at home minding your own business, you definitely deserve to be able to have the most immediate help on hand.

Here in washington, a family got robbed around halloween. Whats crazy was it was a bunch of teenagers and a few adults as robbers. During the Testimony, One said they shouldnt leave any witnesses because some of the kids in the house went to the same school as the robbers. SO, they opted to kill the whole family to not leave any witnesses. One proceeded to shoot the father in the head. However, they could not stomach the idea of killing everyone else so they just left.

Picatinny forearm to attach grips, lasers, flashlights, and other accessories.

I remember hearing that story about the pregnant mom defending her family with an AR. At 2:44 was THAT the rifle she used? ANYWAY... yes, I agree with all points. When a devastating hurricane came through my town, despite the widespread police presence on the major roads there was still some looting going on. Cell towers and telephone poles were knocked down, making it impossible to call for help especially during those first few days. Many of us had chainsaws in our hands to clear out the roads, but we were also packing pistols. But there were also people on their porches with ARs. The community as a whole came together to rebuild and the spirit of cooperation was really high, but at the same time we weren't going to tolerate any looting. Signs saying "Looters will be shot" were up all over the place, and any strange vehicle on our road that wasn't a cop car automatically drew suspicion. And this all happened in an American town just 3 years ago. So all this talk about "SHTF" or some post-apocalyptic dystopia is not just sci-fi paranoia; it can and did actually happen at least in my town. It didn't make the news, though, because from what I heard (I didn't have electricity at the time) just as soon as the first gas station reopened 20 miles away a few days later, most of the major news networks stopped reporting on the devastation. In my town, Hurricane Michael became known as the "Forgotten Storm". Forgotten by the world, maybe, but not by us as many still mark time between "Before Michael" and "After Michael".
