An AR's main purpose is not to kill people. An AR's main purpose is to function. People kill people. Guns are tools, no more, no less. People with an irrational fear of weapons have mental issues they need to deal with. The super scary AR is no more "deadly" than the knife or the shotgun or the mini revolver. A lot of people have bought into the fear mongering of movies, TV and the press. An AR is not an "automatic", they are not military weapons anymore than a bolt action rifle or pump action shotgun are. I can not think of a single firearms platform that does not have a military ancestor. And for the record, hand grenades are not available to anyone outside the military. What hand grenades have to do with this discussion escapes me.
The problem is that people are so far removed from the land, from the rural lifestyle, that the sight of a gun makes them all girly-nervous. Big deal, it's a gun. You stand a far, far greater likelihood of someone killing you with a car than a gun, but I don't hear the nervous Nellies whining about that. Maybe what we need is for people to grow up and stop fearing inanimate objects. Maybe we'd be far better off if seeing someone with a gun didn't send half the population into hysterics.
If a guy with an AR or AK or Garand or most anything else shows up in front of me I'll react the same way I have for the past 40 years- the exact same way I react to anyone approaching me I don't know. I'm going to wet my pants at the sight of a gun.
If you actually read what I wrote you'd see I advocate concealed carry, not open carry. When I want to make a statement though, I don't think reactions of fear and hysteria are at all appropriate.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
