For what it's worth, I own an AR-15 myself and do not support banning them outright either. But I would not describe it as a non-military grade weapon by any stretch. Semi-automatic weapons in general are military grade weapons, that's the most common usage of weapons in combat, where automatic and burst modes are really used for suppressive fire and to gain movement opportunities.
Really, 'military-grade' is a misnomer, it doesn't convey much meaning and is mostly used as a marketing term to sell things that are also used in the military, like weapons, phanny packs and keychains. It isn't an appropriate term to describe weapons, because all weapons including shotguns, revolvers and swords can be 'military grade', all can be deadly in the right or wrong hands and whether it's used in the military or not might not be the best reason to outlaw or permit it.
this is true. great post

Riots always remind me that the only way to protect your property is with guns. Law enforcement abandon their posts at the first sign of trouble. See that every riot, either they are just afraid of crowds or the optics of shooting people for looting are too bad. If you shoot a couple of looters the looting will stop

kill people for looting? i think the manufacturing industry creates plenty of frivolous garbage to let a few poor people have some without charge.
did we all forget about the $1.2 trillion dollar insurance industry? every business has insurance that covers property damage and loss.

"jewish lightning" is a derogatory phrase but it means burning your business down to collect insurance $$$.
if you dont have insurance then you are no good at running a business

Why should the business owner be subject to looting and than have to pay the increase premiums on their insurance after they submit their claim?
Who is going to reimburse them for their increased premiums for the next 3-5 years? Nobody.

Americans somehow believe killing people to prevent property crime is morally justified. Our culture is pretty sick.

One of my projects for work was less than a quarter mile from that Wendy's on University Ave.
It is a horrible, horrible place.
The job was an affirmative action project and they wanted the subcontractors to hire a few locals as part of their contract but most of them just paid the fine instead of hiring locals.
It was a real shit show. It was their money though and they should be able to spend it as they choose and there is a certain noble appeal to hiring based strictly on ethnicity and gender but at some point you need someone that knows what in the fuck they are doing and that one was a mess all the way from the architect down to the dipshits picking up trash.

I heard a theory on the radio this morning and I'm not saying it is true I'm just repeating what I heard but the theory is that the University Ave thing has not gotten out of hand like a lot of the other places because little white antifa kids are not welcome there and will likely be beaten to death on sight.

i dont think the majority of looters/rioters are doing it in the name of justice. maybe some, but very few. its an inconvenience to have your business looted or your property damaged. very unfortunate for those people. ruined businesses can be resurrected, but the people murdered by cops dont have that option.

this is my opinion: if you are more outraged about the looters and rioters and less outraged about the senseless, murderous violence committed by law enforcement officers, then you are part of the problem and not the solution.

I got a third option for you. Be outraged about both.
