I dont think that most private individuals should have access to something appropriately described as a combat rifle

when i say "combat rifle" i dont mean something "meant to kill as many people as possible" im referring to how the barrel and parts are made. how the bolt carrier group is tested to withstand a high number of rounds (tens of thousands) and be reliable in dirt and sand, how the barrel is chrome lined to withstand corrosion of different environments, how the hand-guards are designed to control heat ect. a lot of the more really really cheap AR's dont have these kinds of things or they skimp out further on them. I guess a better term could to be "bomb proof", built to withstand more or hold up better ect., like colt ARs and ones that tend to be into the $1000+ range.
