By "bare bones" I'm assuming you mean A2? This looks like an A4 variant pictured. Had one of each. Fun to shoot. Had to drastically modify them to be compliant when my state outlawed them and tried to require require registration.
Freedom is the liberty to arm yourself against a tyrannical government. Our forefathers knew that and wrote into law the ability for us to overthrow the very government they were founding. After what happened to us under the yoke of the Brittish, they didn't want to give someone in the future a second shot at it.

I'm going to go ahead and cut the replies off before they come in. "It is a different world now, we don't need guns anymore because that can't happen," is an extremely dangerous mindset to have and rhetoric that is a prelude to a dictatorship.
It's not that that can't happen but in the time of the forefathers when they wrote that the guns people carried were unadvanced pistols of which you'd be lucky if you shot over a bullet per minute meaning mass shootings and innocent lives lost weren't nearly as much of a possibility as opposed to today when we have automatic weapons that can kill huge numbers in seconds.
Three per minute. Mass shootings at that time were usually carried out at son government's behest. Ant the civilians of the time had better, faster and mor accurate weaponry that the government(s). I respect that you have an opinion and want to defend it but research your facts. Somebody argued that those battles were fought with muskets, bayonets, and swords. They forgot rifles. My state outlawed bayonets too.
Your local police depts are becoming a specialized, paramilitary. Martial law is one angry mob that has been abused by that same "peace dept" away. Stand up against a corrupt government and you will really see your "freedom". Let the patriots of this country fight for your children's freedom. Bring someone from the 90's to the present day (without being here to see the gradual change) they would be speechless. Just about everything we take for granted has been used as a weapon. It's funny to talk about driving home drunk from a club, but not funny shooting a firearm drunk. I would never kill someone for "kicks", hell, I'm a Pesci-tarian. It is to ensure our countries freedoms beyond simple weapon ownership.
Anatomy of Freedom or Anatomy of destruction
There are better things that celebrate freedom eg. Freedom to eat kinder eggs which are illegal in the US and have never resulted in massacres
Well, 1 1/2, seeing as the second is a barebones model.
