A Glock can do anything an AR-15 can.

A Glock cannot kill someone past about a 100 yards; an AR-15 can easily kill at 800 yards. Glocks lack the accuracy of an AR-15 even below 100 yards. A Glock is not going to get through reasonable body armor, like an AR-15 can. Glocks are really not designed for a high rate of fire like AR-15's are.

There is one thing that makes a Glock better than an AR-15, it is easier to carry. If I am a soldier, I know I am going out to kill someone, so I want to carry something like an AR-15. If I am a hunter, I know I am going out to kill something, so I want to carry something like a hunting rifle. If I am anyone else, and do not know I am going out to kill anything, I want to either not carry any weapon, or at most carry a pistol.

Exactly my point. Pistol rounds are for self-defense, not offense. Still, up close, a .45 has a lot of knock down power.

Yes, but it depends on how you define self defense. Most murders are done in some level of self defense, but not legal self defense. Shooting a robbery victim, so they cannot be a witness against you is not legally self defense.

Mostly the large capacity clip. It's actually a fairly small caliber.

My main objection to it is that it's a quasi-military weapon, not a legitimate sporting firearm.
A sporting arm will suffice for self-defense, but an AR-15 is an overtly offensive weapon.
I was issued an M-16, the actual military version. I still remember what it was for.
The LAST thing I ever wanted to do was to take the ugly piece of shit home with me.

In Texas wild hogs are a huge problem they are very destructive . An AR 15 makes a great hog gun. It's rapid rate of fire and reload allows you to shoot more pigs before they can scatter. We shoot them on our farm at night with a AR 15 an a night scope.

This video is not me and at least one gun used is a AR 15.

My rule on shooting some critter, be it a deer, rattlesnake, or whatever, is You shoot it, you eat it. There are some exceptions for things that if you eat them you'll likely get sick and die, but on the whole, that's the rule. The wife found that out while we were dating. We were camping with some friends and I ended up having to finish a rattlesnake one of them wounded. Everybody present had to have some when I cooked it up.

By the way, it's more like eating squid than chicken...

We raise watermelon commercially. The wild hog herds come in a field and destroy thousands of dollars of melons. They have to be controlled. It's not target practice its pest control.

That'd be one of my exceptions. Of course, hogs and javelina are also good for sausage. You just need to grind them fine and add the right combination of herbs and spices...

More humans die from a suction cannula than by AR 15. You stop the massacre of humans by suction cannula I give up my AR 15s.

What does that have to do with a first grade class was wiped out by a rapid fire gun,that is not made for hunting!
Only a Soldier needs a rapid fire weapon.

We give hogs we shoot away. The country has a contest every month. You turn in pig noses and you get one number per nose in a raffle each month . If you win the monthly raffle you are entered in a once a year raffle. I know a guy that won a nice shotgun. Anyway the reason they have the raffle is because wild pigs are a huge problem.

There's guys killing people for shits and giggles to... The world is full of fucked up people. Let's concentrate on getting rid of them rather than taking everything away from the other 98% to keep that 2% of assholes from doing the fucked up shit they do.
