I'm a gun nut in real life. lol. My favorite is my Bushmaster ACR. Keeps
everything good about the M16/M4/AR15 pattern and ditches what sucks
(charging most especially). I do have a couple higher end and lower custom
AR builds, all unfortunately Commifornia legal despite the infringement of
that which explicitly shall not be infringed in a relatively simple
sentence that leaves little room for any but the most contorted of
maneuver... Oxford comma and all (who seriously could imagine any 19th
century court countenancing a ban on a citizen owning or carrying a loaded
musket or sword anywhere? To say nothing of the fact that the Redcoats were
going after privately owned CANNONS at Lexington & Concord...).

I need a bigger safe.
