He\u2019s a great guy. And in addition to being the author of some 18 books, the majority of which are on gun laws, he is the purveyor of GunLaws.com and the publisher of Bloomfield Press. He\u2019s a busy guy.<\/p>\n<p>In the video above, Alan addresses the question I\u2019ve attempted to answer in Part I and Part II of my series. What Alan does quite cleverly is attack the premise of the question, explaining that in America the possession of private property isn\u2019t based on needs and therefore framing a question in that manner is an affront to the principles of personal freedom and individual choice\u00a0that our Constitution protects and preserves.<\/p>\n<p>Korwin invokes the expression, popularized by Karl Marx, \u201cFrom each according to his ability, to each according to his need,\u201d to make his point that when we begin to examine rights and freedoms in terms of needs we are starting down the very slippery slope to communism.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of asking, \u201cWhy does anyone need an AR-15,\u201d Korwin says that reporters ought to ask, \u201cWhy do millions of people, including law enforcement, want an AR-15?\u201d To which he finally answers, It\u2019s a great gun!<\/p>\n<p>I totally agree with Krowin\u2019s reasoning on why the question is flawed, but I still think that a cogent case can be made that one needs an AR-15, which is what I hope I did in <a href=\"\/blog\/need-ar-15-30-round-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"why-you-need-an-ar-15-with-a-30-round-mag-part-iii\" title=\"Why You Need an AR-15 With a 30-Round Mag Part III\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Part I <\/a>and <a href=\"\/blog\/why-you-need-an-ar-15-with-a-30-round-mag-part-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"why-you-need-an-ar-15-with-a-30-round-mag-part-iii\" title=\"Why You Need an AR-15 With a 30-Round Mag Part III\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Part II<\/a> of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, more food for thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part III of &#8220;Why You Need an AR-15 with a 30 Round Mag,&#8221; I&#8217;m calling this the Alan Korwin edition.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":30917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,216,240],"tags":[613,132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-35069","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-ar-15","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why You Need an AR-15 With a 30-Round Mag Part III<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Part III of &quot;Why You Need an AR-15 with a 30 Round Mag,&quot; I&#039;m calling this the Alan Korwin edition.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/why-you-need-an-ar-15-with-a-30-round-mag-part-iii\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why You Need an AR-15 With a 30-Round Mag Part III\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Part III of &quot;Why You Need an AR-15 with a 30 Round Mag,&quot; I&#039;m calling this the Alan Korwin edition.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/why-you-need-an-ar-15-with-a-30-round-mag-part-iii\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-03-30T19:03:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T10:03:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/alankorwin.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"607\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"407\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
