    It’s legit a lot of fun. Way more fun than putting holes in paper has any right to be.

    I wouldn’t suggest an AR as your first rifle though. They’re a pain in the balls to field strip and clean, the ammo can get pricey, and they end up in the crosshairs to potentially get banned every time the Democrats want to make a big show of pretending they’re doing something constructive to curb gun violence. Get yourself a nice Ruger 10-22, cheap and easy to shoot, not at all difficult to maintain, and one of the most common rifles out there so you can find a lot of support and accessories.

        9 blue states have banned the AR15. Guns that are functionally just as deadly are legal, but the AR is the one people hear about on the news so they ban it specifically by name in their useless feel-good legislation.
