Do recent and continued mass murders, in which semi-automatic rifles are used to horrifying effect, signal the end of an era? Should America restrict access to these currently legal firearms?
The answer to these questions is certainly not an easy one. The Armalite Rifle model 15 and its plethora of copies from nearly every firearm manufacturer have basically defined the past few decades of gun sales in the USA. If manufacture of these guns were to cease today there would still be millions of these rifles available on the secondary market. Part of the beauty of this particular rifle is that it can be serviced, accessorized, modified and updated with a few tools and some basic knowledge. No matter what happens in the state or federal legislature, the modern sporting rifle is here to stay.
