People that question the need for an AR 15 for defense are ignorant of that with they speak. Here are some facts to be considered on the defense use of firearms by home owners.
Before I continue, I would like to insert that IMHO, the AR 15 is too light to be a good choice for home defense. I would use something heavier, like an M14 (M1A1 is the civilian equivalent) in .308 instead of the .556 the AR uses! BUT since the liberals hate it so much, everyone should have several; just to piss them off....

It is a good first weapon for Ladies, due to the low recoil and high speed projectile.

FIRST of all, the Constitution was written to protect the Citizens from their own government, and to keep us armed in case they get too tyrannical. SO the government does Not have the authority to limit firearms from their citizens! That authority was not delegated to them, by their citizens; under enumerated powers.
Those that question the need for an AR-15 for self defense, need to look at how it works when someone uses it in that way!
These citizens did just that.
In late March of 2017, an Oklahoma man used an AR-15 to defend himself from three armed intruders.
NBC News reported:
A 23-year-old Oklahoma man used a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle to shoot and kill three masked teenage intruders dressed in black who broke into his home Monday afternoon.
This was in Tulsa, and when it happened there were some things leading up to, and following on to this story.
Leading up to, this home owner had already called the police, because these same burglars had emptied his storage shed. Before the police arrived, they returned to break into the house too. The home owner ended their crime spree.
The follow on story was the grandfather of one of the burglars was incensed that the home owner used an AR, and had an unreasonable advantage. It was interesting that he was not mad that his grandson was breaking into someone else's house to steal from them!
More recently, a Summerfield, Florida man and veteran used his AR-15 to defend himself from four home invaders. The homeowner shot and killed two of the intruders while the other two were later detained near the house.
Gainesville.com reported:
The homeowner told the detective he was awakened by a loud noise and grabbed his AR-15, which was near his bed. He saw a masked person inside the home, he said, and he and the intruders exchanged gunfire. He said he shot at the man in the mask and at a second person coming toward him.
Just last week, a pregnant Florida mother was able to fend off two violent intruders with, you guessed it, an AR-15. After one of the thugs pistol-whipped her husband and the other grabbed her 11-year-old daughter, the woman armed herself with her husband’s AR-15 and shot one of the intruders.
The husband told Bay News 9:
“Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it,” King said. “(My wife) evened the playing field and kept them from killing me.”
What they don't mention here is that this woman that used an AR 15 to save her family, was about SEVEN months pregnant! The AR was an unpleasant surprise for the bad guys, and life itself for her Family....
Not bad that a Lady this pregnant could save her entire Family, because of that little rifle!
The liberals MUST disarm us, to tyrannize us; so if we are to become their servants, we must first be helpless! The AR 15 is just the fulcrum they want to use to take all our firearms. Once they get ONE banned, every other firearm will miraculously become equivalent to an AR 15; and so they are also banned!
