The fact that that rifle needs a forward assist is an admission of how shitty a design it is.

GFY!

what the fuck does us coast guard need with armored infantry? GFY

Think of it like forwardly assisting citizens to camps through legislation.

I've never quite understood this argument. Civilians don't need a particular capability ... but government does?

Because it's something so horrifying that only the state should be allowed to use it?

I see no lies. Hopefully the Antifa marksmanship manual includes that update for this election year's race war
