“I own an AR-15. I’ve got it at my house. The question is if you deny me the right to buy another one, have you made America safer?†he asked.
Yes.
He should give the money to the Conservative, Republican, Teabags that are receiving any govt. benefits. That way he would be fighting America's greatest enemy;Socialism.

Yes. I have to admit, it's WAY COOLER than that 007 toy gun I got back in 1965.

United Kingdom Legal with mods - "a person must provide an exceptional reason and gain permission from the Home Secretary, making ownership all but impossible for a private citizen"
No way an AR-15 in the UK is getting into the hands of anyone.

I plan to buy an AR-15 this coming year. It's a great weapon.
It did pretty well targeting 6 year olds. Please reconsider.

If someone were to break into his home and steal one AR-15, that's one rifle in the hands of a criminal. If TWO AR-15s are stolen that's potentially TWO rifles in the hands of two separate criminals. So yes, in that case America IS safer.

Great, then you won't mind if I come over and hide a live Claymore somewhere in your yard?
Hey, its only an inanimate object.

FYI.. many gun owners have locked down gun safes.
Maybe, but how many owners DON'T keep their guns in a safe figuring - rightly - that keeping their gun in a safe is a hindrance to the very reason for having the damn thing in the first place? When a strung out meth addicted baby raper has broken into your home the last thing you want to do is try to remember the combination to your safe, THEN load the gun, and only then go protect your family.
AR-15's aren't for home protection, they are for defending outside against large groups of people. For home protection you use a 12 gauge shotgun or handgun. Unless of course you live in a castle with very large rooms and stone walls so the bullets don't over penetrate and go into your neighbors house.

Gun Lobby Defends School Guard Plan
Schumer, Lieberman Blast Plan for More Guns
On NBC, Graham said he himself owns an AR-15, the type of assault rifle used by 20-year-old Adam Lanza in Newtown.
“I own an AR-15. I've got it at my house. The question is if you deny me the right to buy another one, have you made America safer?” he asked. “I don't suggest you take my right to buy an AR-15 away from me because I don't think it will work, and I do believe better security in schools is a good place to start.”
