S&W M&P 15-22 (Flat Dark Earth color)

If you follow guns, ARs inventories have pretty much been wiped out both in gun shops and online. I have always wanted one, and stumbled across one yesterday! Had to buy it, justifying it to the wife was another story! Lol.

I wanted the .22 cal because the ammo is cheap, and I wanted to have something fun to shoot, without spending a ton on ammo.

Anyone else have one? I can't wait to shoot it!

don't wanna get into the political crap that goes with guns and all that...

but why? and what will you do with it now that you have it? serious question

Why buy a Harley Davidson?

Why buy a Mustang Cobra, when a Toyota Tercel works just fine?

Why buy a 300 horsepower 25 foot boat when a jon boat will float just the same?

Why buy an iPhone when the old flip phone does the same job?

Honestly I purchased mine because my buddy accidentally ordered two "uppers" for his AR and asked if I could help him out as he didn't have the cash to cover both and couldn't send it back.

My friend uses mine to shoot coyote's to keep them from nabbing his cows when they are young. Sure he could use a .308, but it's more expensive to shoot, is not as accurate, and is heavier.

Fair question. I answered this question just last night we had a few people over. One was a couple from Cali, they are those typical granola eating Cali folk, who might I add have never seen an assault rifle in person.

For me, the answer is simple. I like to shoot guns. The M&P 15 series is maybe one of the funniest guns there is to shoot. It's a great "toy" to take into the woods and shoot targets, cans, etc... Shooting is a hobby, shooting is a sport, shooting is a great activity to do with friends, and shooting is a great way to blow off steam.

Shooting is a sport. You need a gun and bullets to be able to play the sport. The same as you need you need a tennis racket and ball to play tennis. I plan to use it in many different places like shooting ranges and when I goto my parents house they have a bunch of land. I plan to teach my daughter how to shoot with it when she gets older.

I'm not a survivalist, I'm not an anti government lunatic, I'm not an asshole. I am a 30 yr old guy with a career, a house payment, and a dog. Guns don't kill people, people with mustaches do.

Also, I bought a .22. Here is a chart showing what a .22 looks like, compared to all other caliber rounds. Notice the .22 is the smallest round possible, it's the furthest bullet on the left. A .22 is made for shooting targets and small vermin. It would be very hard to kill a person, unless you shoot them a bunch of times.

So basically "cause I'm and American dammit!"

Lol

Some people that buy guns are normal and reliable human beings. Others not so much. The only trouble is it can be difficult to identify who is who.

The NRA is trying to push the blame onto mentally ill people. But even within the mentally ill community it's only the smallest % of people that ever use a firearm to commit a crime. Many of the people that commit the mass shootings are never diagnosed or treated either.

The only difference between an AR and a 30/30 is caliber and aesthetics. At the end of the day they both shoot bullets accurately at long distances. One is considered an assault rifle, the other a hunting weapon. They both can kill people in the wrong hands. I don't see a problem with a responsible party owning either of them.

      Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.

      If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game
