First post. I'm here doing research on AR's. Looking at target shooting only, no zombie crap, or the need to defend my country against foreign invaders. Not even looking at a home defense gun. I figure that is what my pistols and dogs are for.

Just a plain and simple target gun, and I'm looking at the AR because I like the versatility of the rifle. And, yea it looks cool.

But, to the point, I'm not so sure that we need gun control as much as we need people control. I hear people complain about having to wait for a time period, before being allowed to get their gun. I'd like to see a more vigorous waiting period, where mental health is checked, and there are minimum standards that have to be met.

Yea. I said it.
