    There is no debate and no battle. Whether one chooses an AR or AK platform is either a matter of personal choice or availability. I prefer AR’s but made sure I was proficient with the AK as well. Both have their advantages and drawbacks. I’m not a fan of Cadillacs either and prefer Toyotas. But if a Caddy is the only thing available it’s what I’m driving. A pointless debate at best. Buy what you prefer. Practice and gain proficiency with it.

    We as responsible gun owners need to distance ourselves from the term ASSAULT RIFLE…
    Any AR style we should be calling a Modern Sporting Rifle…the AK call it whatever you want just let’s get away from the media driven term ASSAULT RIFLE
