Every time I think I want one, I talk myself out of it. A buddy of mine has two, and I can shoot one whenever I want, I just don't want one enough to buy one of my own.
His is an "okay" shooter (DPMS upper and lower, mid-length gas furniture, ACE stock, some other gadgets). The other one is a Rock River Varminter, which shoots better than most boltguns.
But every time I go to buy one, some boltgun or levergun catches my eye, and I forget about the ARs pretty quick.
I hate chasing brass anyway.
Every American should own at least one AR.
