There's a gunshow coming up and I'm thinking about getting either an AK or a AR. I'm much more familiar with the AR, but was leaning toward the AK because of its reliability and greater stopping power. Any input on the two from those that know?
AK vs AR-15

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I tend to crash pretty hard with far-right gun enthusiasts.
The AR is a much better weapon imo. I've shot both, but likely wouldn't buy an AK. It's much heavier, and the bulk can actually be a problem. If you are getting either to simply shoot targets for fun, I'd still pick the AR. It's a bit lighter, less bulky and less recoil, and all around a much better gun. Unless you are a gun fanatic get both, but if you just want something to shoot targets, or potentially protect your house the AR is always better imo.
SKS is far superior. I was a complete mark for AKs even the Chinese knockoffs. but actually getting to use an SKS completely changed my perspective... nobody talks about them too much but what a wonderful rifle.

It just depends on what reasons you want the gun for I guess. I will probably eventually buy an AK for when societal collapse apocalyptic defcon 5 mode is activated and I need to have a reliable working gun to patrol the wasteland with
And when will this event take place? I’ve been hearing about it for decades now.

The overturning of roe v wade was eye-opening for me. I don't see how the left and right reconcile at this point without violence, hence the firearms question. I don't actually like firearms. But I won't be made to kneel in a field somewhere because I don't own a Bible, or because I didn't vote for Trump.
I work in the trades and run in some of of those circles because of that. And the rhetoric coming out of the right is concerning.
So yeah, I'm not a fan of far right gun nuts. But I'm equally distasteful of smarmy, self-congratulatory, classist liberals.
Based off your premise and subsequent posts, you may be better off not owning a firearm. Why?
A. You treat the subject as academic. Its not. Its on the same level as that apocolypse comment-completely unserious
B. While you try to sound fair minded, the undertone has to do with a fear of the "other", which eventually does surface in the post talking about "kneeling in a field because you don't own a bible or didn't vote vote Trump". That is an attitude that if you had the courage of your convictions to talk that way at a typical gun range with your new "toy", they would probably kick your ass out.
Your whole attitude about it is wrong, imho.
BTW, examples of the "rhetoric" would be interesting.
I bet it sounds like whatever Rachel Maddow or Steven Colbert claims "the right" is saying.
