Actor Jim Carrey branched out from his usual portraits of President Trumps administration on Friday, instead painting a former Kent State University student whose gun-touting graduation photos went viral.
Carrey uploaded his artwork to Twitter on Friday, depicting Kaitlin Bennett posing with her AR-10 on the Ohio campus.
And the devil said, 'Thanks a bunch Goldilocks. Enjoy the show in Santa Fe tomorrow. Someday, real soon, Ill have you for dinner,' Carrey captioned his portrait.

(17,984 posts)They still make them
Eugene Stoner is known by many as the progenitor of the AR-15/M16/M4 design that has so captivated gun owners and militaries the world over.
Slightly less well-known is his first creation, the Armalite AR-10. Like I said in the beginning, this was the original rifle that competed with what would become the m14 for a spot as the US militarys main battle rifle prior to the Vietnam War.
It was this design that Stoner would eventually scale down to the AR-15 we know today, which was bought by the Air Force, and 10 bazillion or so ARs later, would go on to rival Kalashnikovs creations for the title of most popular rifle ever.
If you will accept no imitations, no pretenders, and want only the purest, most original AR-10, youre in luck.
Armalite still makes the AR-10 that put them on the map, and despite shutting down for a bit in the 80s and being sold and bought out a few times here and there, they still make some awesome guns.

(17,984 posts)They were, but I guess they were popular enough to bring back.

(1,526 posts)That is just my guess why they are calling it an AR-10.
The AR-15 can be built/customized to a wide range of caliber cartridges.

(34,169 posts)They are bigger and heavier and fewer rounds of 7.62 NATO can be stored in magazines of the same size as mags for the AR15.
It seems like there is more civilian interest in them which I impart to the use of 7.62 NATO rifles in Iraq and Afganistan.
