Thanks for nothing, assholes.I haven’t read this thread yet but I plan to.
I think I’m gonna be getting my first AR, in fact my first weapon of any kind.
I’ve already done some research and have an idea of why I want, but any suggestions?

Depends on how much money you want to spend. If you are looking to go on the cheaper end, you could get a DPMS or Bushmaster. They are decent, but nothing special. Just remember, you get what you pay for. And this goes doubly when talking about firearms.I haven’t read this thread yet but I plan to.

An AR as your first weapon?I haven’t read this thread yet but I plan to.

I’ve been a fan of the Glock 22 for many years. It isn’t the most accurate weapon I’ve ever fired, but I really like it.I have Glock 27 in 40 cal that I have been carrying as a back up or plain clothes gun for years. Finally broke down and bought my first ever 9MM. I bought the Glock 43. It's a single stack and far easier to conceal. So now that I can can conceal it easier I carry it far more than I used to. Shoots like a dream as well.
Um, no.An AR as your first weapon?
Maybe you should start out with a pellet gun, Junior.
Some of the gun webstores have the best deals, some other ones to keep an eye out on are grabagun, budsgunshop, palmettostatearmory & gun.deals is slickdeals type website for guns/ammoI went in to a store wanting to look at the Smith and Wesson M&P Sport II and the salesman tried to upsell me on the Springfield Armory Saint. The biggest difference I can remember him saying was the free floating barrel but I’m not sure I need all that. Not looking for long distance shooting.
Oh, and the other difference was the $950 price tag compared to $599.
But anyway I found the S&W online for $450 through a website called gunprime.com, but no sights. Probably will get that one and then get my own sights.
Yeah, I got a Ruger LCP from a webstore and only gave like $250 for it.Some of the gun webstores have the best deals, some other ones to keep an eye out on are grabagun, budsgunshop, palmettostatearmory & gun.deals is slickdeals type website for guns/ammo
I don't know about all of this. I mean for example, if you're talking home defense you can't get much more accurate than a shotgun that has a spray pattern that makes it so even a poor shot can hit someone. And obviously hand guns are easier to store and grab or conceal if you are on the go.Everyone knows handguns are harder to fire. Shotguns harder to use accurately. No need to get something inferior to build up to the best. Just take classes, practice, it'll be fine.

Assault riffles are great but it all depends on the purpose you're using them for. If you're trying to kill a dude running away from your house at a good distance, the assault riffle makes the most sense.
Or are you talking about legal hunting?
As someone who has shot all of those guns and knows exactly the size of hole I can put in something with bird shot I disagree with you. It's why shooting skeet is so much fun. You ain't hitting one with a rifle.If you don't know what you're talking about, you really should refrain from commenting.
First... Assault rifle. There is nothing more "assault' to an AR-15 than a mini-14 ranch rifle. They are both semi-automatic rifles. Nothing more.
Second, unless a shotgun is cut way down (which is illegal) the pattern isn't nearly as big as you are letting on here. A shotgun blast at close quarters, which is what we're talking about in home invasion, wouldn't have much more than a couple inches of spread. Most rooms in a house, aren't more than 30 or so feet across. So, no. It does not mean even a poor shot can hit someone. A shotgun's spread widens the further it goes. That also means, the further the pattern spreads, the less lethal it gets. You shoot a guy with a 12ga at 30 feet, you'll paint the wall behind him with his guts. You shoot a guy with that same gun and load at 100 feet, you'll pepper him with BBs. But the chances of it being a lethal shot are severely diminished.
It has nothing to do with being sensitive or whatever. Using the term assault to describe these rifles is wrong. No matter how you want to spin it. Same with thinking shooting skeet is even remotely comparable to firing a shotgun in close quarters. Wrong.
Some people still actually think the AR stands for assault rifle. Au contraire.It has nothing to do with being sensitive or whatever. Using the term assault to describe these rifles is wrong.

That would be a 60 foot hallway. You must have a massive ass house.
Fine I'll use the term ArmaLite if that makes you feel better. You're being overly sensitive.
And yes shooting 20 yards down a hallway has a pretty good spread on a shotgun. So come at me bro.
Yeah slight exaggeration. But the spreads on bird shot at even 10 yards are pretty big. Of course you lose some killing power at that point.That would be a 60 foot hallway. You must have a massive ass house.
