Another School Shooting - 02/15/18
The only reason there is an AR-15 type Rifles is due to the Democrats. Back in the late 50’s early 60’s the US Military held Test Trials to adopt a New Rifle for the Military.
The AR-15 Failed the Army Test Board three times due to Sand Test, Water Test & one other that I can’t think of at this moment. This was during the Lyndon Johnson administration who had appointed Robert S Macnamara as head of the War Dept.
Macnamara did away with the Army Test Board and had the AR-15 adopted as the new Military Rifle for all the services. At the time of adoption it was called Macnamara’s 22 & Mickey Mouse rifle due to the plastic stocks.
Over the years it has been modified so many times to correct all the deficiencies in the original rifle. It was also the reason we lost thousands of GI’s in Vietnam due to jamming & defective ammunition.
Macnamara was formerly with Colt Industries who was awarded the first contract for production of the new Military Rifles.
All this info is available in many sources including the NRA Publication the American Rifleman.
Every time I hear the Democrats go on a rage about passing Gun Laws I think of this.
