And if we do, why that one? Why should our national gun be the one most often used in mass murders?

There you go...AR15 the "national gun"

What a slap in the face to victims of gun violence to even think that there's a need for a "national gun".

...it certainly wouldn't be the AR-15.

Let's see...the Colt Single Action Army pistol, the Winchester Model 1894 rifle, the Colt 1911 pistol, and the Remington 870 shotgun seem WAY more deserving of such an honor than the overblown coyote gun these guys see as a substitute for their penises.

And shame on these idiots. Now watch the upcoming gun run...the Army recently announced the replacement for the AR15 style MP4. It's the MP7 at 6.8 caliber. The gun nuts will have to have to most commercial version of the up to date killer weapon.

And the kids get shot by "freedom bullets" or something?

Whatever their motives, it's disgusting.

The founding fathers knew only the 'arm(S)' of 1789. Any other choice would be a slap in the face of those fine folk who elevated those weapons to sanctified status.

Of course, the possibility does exist that the founding fathers were sociopaths like today's 2nd A apologists, and perhaps the men of 1789 would be OK with 21st century mass carnage.
