Yes, I did watch it. Right out of the gait, Tuchman made sure he called it a semi-automatic, assault-style rifle. Not only is it semi-automatic, but it's an "assault-style" rifle. WTF is "assault-style" anyway? Right after that the general talked about how it looked. So, it's "assault-style" and scary looking because it looks like a rifle the military uses.
"A lot of people will buy this because it's cool, and they want to look like soldiers". Well #1) BULL#### and #2) so f####ing what! What damn business is it of the general how I want to look? Most soldiers get tattoos because it looks cool.
They talked about how lethal the AR is. YES! Lethal. Isn't that the intent when someone breaks into your home and wants to harm you? I want something that will do the job.
I didn't see anywhere in the video where he corrected himself. "If you're a gun collector or a gun aficionado, and you want an AR-15, you can certainly buy one, and you should be able to buy one". Well f-you general, I'm not a collector or aficionado and I feel it's an appropriate firearm for my protection and, if that terrible day should ever come, the defense of my country. What this is about to me is... I'm fed up with people telling me what's best for me to protect myself. I'm fed up with people telling me what words I can and can't use. I'm fed up with people that think they know better how to raise my kids. This country has completely lost the meaning of 'liberty' and what it takes to protect it.
