Ifinally convinced my step-daughter and her husband to let me take the grandkids out shooting a couple years ago. Much too late in my opinion, but better late than never. The grandson(16) really liked the SKS and Mosin-Nagant, but the girls preferred the AR15. Huh. Big surprise, right. in fact tho’, the 15 yr old girl was a bit spooked by guns, but shot well enough, the 12 year old(g-daughter)(my favorite, but don’t tell her) was a natural with the AR/M4. She shot the sh*t out of the targets at 50 to 100 yards no matter what I set out, paper or pop can or reaction target, with a Holosight and didn’t skip a beat. She also shot the sh*t out of my shooting bag, but that’s another matter. The AR15 is the perfect platform for any competent shooter, regardless of gender and I think, perfect for women. Call me sexist,it you will, as some women can shoot major rifle calibre quite well, but up yours if you do.
I note what seems to me a boom in the number of women being photographed shooting AR15s. Oleg Volk, of course, but just plain joes, the bikini-clad chick showing how to strip and clean the rifle, ect. A Soldiers magazine back cover shot of a _very attractive_ Soldier on the AMU.
Maybe we need to spam these photos back to Happy Warrior Joe. I can contribute pics from 3 different females firing my ARs—two of them teens. Maybe a linkfest?

Maybe Biden would be happy if someone made a double barrel shotgun that mounted under an AR-15 handguard*?
(Sure, it’d practically have to be a scary NFA SBS, but what does Biden know about such minutiae?)
(* Actually, that would be pretty awesome, in a useless kind of way. If there was no NFA issue and the price was right, I’d buy one Because Racecar.)

VP Biden says women aren’t smart enough to use an AR-15 but then champions women on the battlefield.
Anyone see the issue?
