Ok...
I think that some people mistook sarcasm for a serious statement.
The AR-15 doesn't have any form of muzzle control problem.That rifle is extremely stable when shot;much more stable and accurate than a handgun. Additionally, if it comes to the point where you have to actually fire your rifle, I don't think that this "inherent muzzle control problem" will be one's primary concern any longer.
And no trigger guard? I don't think I have ever seen an AR-15 without a trigger guard. As a matter of fact, I would think that the trigger guard on an AR is better than that of a common semi-auto handgun, due to the fact it is made of up of the large grip and magazine housing, offering a great deal of protection.
Additionally, every AR variant I have seen has a safety selector switch, which many handguns, including the extremely popular Glock and SA XD brands, do not.
Also, the statement was made: "How are you going to secure a rifle while eating dinner?" That is a silly statement, and could not be made in seriousness. By that standard, members of the U.S. Military should not be carrying a rifle, since the enemy might just stroll up and take that unsecured weapon while G.I. Joe is eating his MRE.
I think Mike was being facetious and sarcastic. I sure hope so.
Otherwise, he is just making a fool of himself, spouting off ignorance that one would expect from The Brady Bunch.
