It's so easy to go about your life and ignore everything I'm saying by just stating, "[he] doesn't know anything about firearms." Nice.
I also apologize if I've missed points or overlooked a few things. I've been out of town the past few days, so I've been typing everything on my mobile phone. Editing my posts have been an issue too.
Okay, so the Ruger, not being a red herring, is something you want included in this discussion. What's the reason for bringing it up? To bait me into giving away that I'm not a gun expert, something I never claimed to be?
It is to educate you and demonstrate that your opposition to the AR-15 is confused.
A Mini-14 and an AR-15 are functionally identical, i.e. semi-automatic rifles chambered for .223 Rem/5.56mm NATO, capable of accepting a box magazine of up to 30 rounds.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
