    A lot of us continued moving left past liberalism. In fact, I moved so far left that I got my guns back. AK47 over AR15 any day. Have fun clearing jams in your shitty AR.

      Lol, clean your guns if you’re getting jams. (The idea about jams is mostly a myth based on military personnel being told they didn’t need to maintain early designs while fighting in a jungle.)

      If you prefer AKs that’s fine. It’s also fine to own both but I think in the US an AR is more practical for most people if they can’t afford both. There are also weird designs mixing the two or having one chambered in the others caliber.

      In the US an AR is generally more affordable and more available. Parts and ammo for it also has more standardization and domestic production. In general it would be easier for most people to work on ARs. In other parts of the world an AK would be more common so more recommendable in my opinion. And the low end offerings there would be better than the low end offers on the US market. Where as you can still get a mostly decent AR for $600 in the US. If I got an AK I’d want to spend notably more than that to actually trust it.

        Affordability has never been my concern. Ammo is everywhere, and it’s cheaper for an AK, so I don’t understand the ammo thing.

        It’s an us vs them thing to own an AK over an AR. It’s also why I will never drive a truck or wear a red hat.

          The ammo/parts thing was more about how without domestic production there room for it to be affected by changes to import laws or sanctions.

          Personally I’m not worried about using something that some other group seems to like. I want what’s practical and fits my needs. There is a reason ARs are so common today. They’re just good and can be built/modified to fit a lot of people or use cases. If I really wanted something different just to be different I’d get something like a vz 58 or some kind of space gat. It’s still kinda hard for me to justify the expense for that kind of reason and I have to rein it in a bit as I kinda want all the things.

    I am reminded of the dude who legit shoved a shotgun up his ass with lube and had to goto the hospital after he climaxed because his asshole clenched with pictures and everything. Send help get it out of my head.
