By "AR round" do you mean 5.56? It's not a particularly powerful round. Less powerful than what it replaced. You wouldn't want to hunt deer with it.

We now know that younger men are just as religious as younger women.

Great story, but I don't understand the point of the cable news guy. A curriculum that is nothing but self defense seems rather limited!

conservative women's Aunt Lydia problem on promiscuous politics and ideological identity
