Fans favor AR-style rifle’s feel
By Lisa Marie Pane
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Karen Butler
still remembers the first time
she picked up an AR-15-style ri-
fle a decade ago.
“Quite honestly, I was scared
of it,” she recalls.
But as soon as she fired it,
she became a fan.
“You know some of these
people that are fearful, it’s just
because they don’t have knowl-
edge,” she said. “We call it furni-
ture — it’s got all the accessories
on it that make it look a little in-
timidating. But once you shoot
it you realize it’s so much fun.”
Butler, of Huntsville, Ala-
bama, started Shoot Like a Girl,
an outfit that seeks to introduce
and inspire women to partici-
pate in shooting sports.
An estimated 8 million AR-
style guns have been sold since
they were first introduced to the
public in the 1960s, and about
half of them are owned by cur-
rent or former members of the
military or law enforcement, ac-
cording to the National Shoot-
ing Sports Foundation, which
represents gunmakers.
Even the name stirs up con-
troversy. “AR” does not stand for
“assault rifle,” as many believe,
but for ArmaLite Rifle, a nod to
the company that first designed
it for military use. Assault rifles
are fully automatic; the bullets
keep flying for as long as the
trigger is depressed. AR-style
guns are semiautomatic, mean-
ing the trigger has to be pulled
separately for each shot.
More than 12,000 people
were killed last year in the Unit-
ed States by guns, and most of
those incidents involved hand-

A tiny fraction involved an

most have been high-profile
shootings, including the night-
club shooting in Orlando, Flori-

Sig Sauer MCX model in an at-
tack that killed 49 people.
That shooting has revived
calls for banning ARs among
critics who believe it is too pow-
erful and too deadly, with stan-
the gun.

she said.

LEBANON, N.H. (AP)
A small library in New Hamp-
shire sits at the forefront of
global efforts to promote priva-
cy and fight government sur-
veillance — to the consterna-
tion of law enforcement
The Kilton Public Library
in Lebanon, a city of 13,000,
last year became the nation’s
first library to use Tor, soft-
ware that masks the location
and identity of internet users,
in a pilot project initiated by
the Library Freedom Project.
Users the world over can have
their searches randomly rout-
ed through the library.
Computers that have Tor
loaded on them bounce inter-
net searches through a ran-
dom pathway, or series of re-
lays, of other computers
equipped with Tor. This net-
work of virtual tunnels masks
the location and internet pro-
tocol address of the person
doing the search.
