lol .223 ammo isn't $1 a piece...
You can get a case of Wolf Gold for $360.
Some folks put up crazy reasons for not having something.
I know budgets are stretched these days.

Believe me I get it, anything firearms related is expensive.
I do not have one. I don't like all the plastic/ composite furniture on AR's. I like wood and steel for all of my guns! I would probably buy an AK before buying an AR, ammo is cheaper too anymore.
Mattel made M16s during vietnam I believe...yep.
I had an AR and after it sat in my closet for a year after having fired 50 rounds the motor in my car blew and I needed extra money. I didnt shoot it and it would pay for a motor in my car so I sold it. Havent really missed it much. Every so often I toss around the idea of getting another one. Then I realize that it will sit in my closet and do nothing anyways. I just cant justify it. Especially when I think about how much it costs to shoot one in relation to the 22lr savage, or 9mm glock, or 38 spcl LCR. I mean I know everyone is caught up in the shtf and zombie apocolypse stuff, but ill deal with what I have.
EDIT TO ADD; Not to mention my uncle is loaded and has literally HUNDREDS of guns, including probably 15 ARs. When it becomes his time he has already informed me that I stand to inherit quite the arsenal. So, I guess I can wait.
And because im not mall ninja enough to carry a 74 pound rifle
This is the second time at least I've read about cleaning and maintenance being a negative for the AR. I bet I can tear my AR apart for routine cleaning faster than you can your mini 14. I mean how hard is it to push out a takedown pin, pull out the handle and BCG, then pop out a cotter pin and cam pin? Takes about 15 seconds. I'm not trying to convince anyone that they need an AR, but I laugh at some of these responses though. Especially saying that 30 cal is cheaper to shoot than .223Neither an AR or an AK here. I understand their appeal, I've shot a couple different types of AR, but to me, they're kind of like a "Mr. Potato Head" gun. I got a Mini-14 Ranch instead, which I really like. Certainly not as configurable, but it's really easy to tear down and service, and plenty accurate enough for me.
