What rubbish. Makes me want to buy as many as I can get my hands on...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gun makers have taken in more than $1 billion from selling AR-15-style guns over the past decade, at times marketing them as a way for young men to prove their masculinity, even as the number of mass shootings increases, according to a House investigation unveiled Wednesday.

The weapons have been used in massacres that have horrified the nation, including one that left 10 people dead at a grocery store in Buffalo and another where 19 children and two teachers were shot to death in Uvalde, Texas.

I bought a Sig 320 compact in FDE in honor of the proposed vote.

There were still a lot of ARs on the wall at Wyoming Gun Company in Caspar

I don't trust the findings of any House investigation unless they prove to me it is completely bi-partisan by having Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger participate.

They have it all backwards....but they don't care.

I didn't buy them for their marketed "manliness".
I purchased them for the low price, proven performance, versatility and flexibility.

manliness has nothing to do with it. Having the ability to shoot tyrants in the face is why I bought them

I like AR15's, but if I wanted something to prove my "Manliness" it
would be a Garand or M1A.

Are guns still in marketing? I don't remember seeing a firearm ad outside of a firearm magazine or web site.

I'm manly enough. I got them because they don't want me to have them. That, and they look cool.

I hope ARs and mags stay sold out across the nation for the next year, just to spite the current administration's attempts to push another AWB. If there are 20 million ARs in civilian hands this year, it needs to double by this time next year.

So not only do they explode my lungs (because the gun is what causes that, not the projectile), but now sales of them are exploding too?!!!

We’ve got to put a stop to this now!!!

I only became interested in ARs when I learned how much cheaper they are to feed than my M1 Garand. Is cheapness "manly"?

So.... the same news agencies that celebrate tranny drag shows for kids don't like AR-15's... Yeah... I don't think I'm going to care much about their opinion.

1. This.
2. Highly customizable for individual users and use cases.
3. Off patent and therefore cheap.
4. Very good design.

Those are the reasons they sell.

Every time I buy a new AR15, I just feel so MANLY and POWERFUL. Plus it's an actual PENIS extension. From minute NUB to LARGE and IN CHARGE. Penis implant, heh, not for me, I save with another AR15 purchase.

Leftist big gov retards and their way of thinking.

The reality is I love guns... and every time I buy another, it fuels the gun industry and pisses off a tenderfoot leftist weenie.

Has anyone ever seen an ad promoting AR-15s outside of gun magazines; its not like ads appear on TV or radio commercials...the marketing line is such BS.

Within a month of getting my first AR15 my dick grew 3”.

When my wife got her first AR15 her tits went from B to D.

Seems to work for men and women.

Someone really good at math should calculate the number of ARs vs mass shooting, then black on black violence, since the FBI isn’t doing it any more….

I suspect the percents won’t fit the agenda

Gay people only want... idk fancy fashion taste, to prove their gayness.

Women only want their nails done to prove their femininity.
