I've always thought that one could make an argument against banning adjustable stocks because it discriminates against women.

Women (for the most part) have small physiques then men, and as such have a more difficult time with fixed stock rifles because they need a shorter distance between their shoulder and their hand to get the proper positioning to work the trigger.

Smaller framed women shouldn't have to be forced to use "children's" rifles or shotguns to compensate for an nonadjustable stock.

That is a very good point. I would love to see that lawsuit.

You would think after spending so much time trying to label ARs as 'assault rifles' that it would at least don on them that it is a rifle. Saw the other day where one politician was claiming ARs weren't suited for hunting because they caused too much damage and there was nothing left to eat or something along those lines (wish I had bookmarked it). We should pass a constitutional amendment barring politicians from voting on a subject until they pass a test showing a basic knowledge of the subject on which they are voting. That would slow them down quite a bit.

Couldn't agree more.

I wonder how many of our soldiers these last 50 years have protected themselves with the military equivalent of the AR-15 in its semi-automatic mode?

Guess my friend's AR must be messed up, as it shoots quarter sized groups at 100 yards with a crappy scope.

On the other hand, those people who do make fun of the small .223 sized caliber now have someone on record as saying this isn't a rifle. :)
