    A year after the Chicago Typewriter went into production, a very notable assault firearm to boot.

    Non answer? That was as honest an answer as you'll get in here.

    Again, there were no AR15s in 1939.

    Right, I asked you what other firearms you were referring to, to which you didn't actually answer. You know this.

    I'll give you a couple of hints.

    You can keep your bolt action .22.

    I wouldn't fall in love with your Norinco AK-47.

    Can we keep our semi-auto 9mm?

    I have no use for AK-47 or AR-15s for that matter.

    What if your AR-15 is a 9mm? The AR family is available in over 100 calibers.

    Do you want to keep your guns? Buy quality, unobtrusive, reasonable, lifetime tough, firearms like this:

    The caliber doesn't matter. I'm just not interesting in having an AR. Just as I'm not interested in lots of things.

    All firearms are dangerous; that’s the design. But the AR 15 does not come close to being unusual in any sense of the word.

    many stores do not sell ar-15's, Dick's still sells many other guns, many stores sell no guns, do you avoid all stores that do not sell ar-15's?

    He, like I, likely avoids stores that take a position to ban AR-15s and standard capacity magazines, and appear to support efforts to put those bans in place. I don't care what they sell. I do care what they would use my money for.

    Did the IRA get crates full of these?

    There is nothing dangerous and unusual about firearms such as the AR-15. Even if there was, a firearm must be both dangerous and unusual simultaneously to be considered ineligible for second amendment protection. Merely being dangerous or unusual is not good enough.

    Furthermore, Heller specified dangerous and unusual weapons, not dangerous and unusual firearms. There is a significant difference to be had between the two standards.

    Then explain in precise details exactly what makes the AR-15, and other similar firearms, qualify as being dangerous and unusual, when compared to all other commercially available firearms.

    Not that I am aware; I left Ireland before they were on the market. I did have one for years... about the size/weight of a zip. A good bear gun...Teddy Bear. I had it out of collection interest, figured if I had to be that close for one to be remotely effective, I reach for my pocket knife. I do have the Pug in .22 mag now.

    The IRA did have Liberators, though I never heard of one being used. They had lot of homemade single shot guns...zip gun varieties. While asassin’s guns were likely available, that type of attack was more style of the UVF, LVF, and the RHC to mention a few, often supplied by the Brits in collusion. They, Loyalist Paras also had the little known Dutch bicycle pump silenced .22.

    A lot of the IRA guns came from military sources and WWII caches still around in the UK and EU. Then, there was Libya and Eastern EU sources.

    Dick's is a confessed enemy of a fundamental human right and the 2nd amendment.
    Most people avoid giving their money to political enemies.
    Dick's needs new management.

    Winn-Dixie doesn't sell AR-15's, but they do sell really good locally butchered beef and I shop there, does that answer your silly question?

    By the way, they also do not have signs at the doors forbidding those who are carrying firearms from entering, as such they are not a gun free zone.

    Who cares. They will have as much impact as Walmart pull ARs from their shelves.... in other words, nada.
    I do note that Walmart still sells .223/5.56 ammo in bulk across the counter...even the scary XM855.

    Actually their selection of firearms is getting smaller each month as they run out of stock.
