Missed this.
No, they don't take the charging handle.
But, picture this: You have your bolt carrier taken. You then have Jamal and Jake the Black Bloc Faggots tossing Molly's at Jewy Shecklestien's House. You put your own bolt carrier in, slap it together, lock and load, and put a bullet in Jake and Jamal the Black Bloc Faggots. You're a hero, right? You saved Jewy Shecklestien!
Wrong.
You are now up on two counts of murder. Failure to follow a direct order. Improper use of military weaponry. And a SHITLOAD more charges.
Then, for maximum Clown World Lulz: Jewy Shecklestien sues YOU on behalf of Jamal and Jake's trashfire families because you aren't covered by the military, leaving you bankrupt, in jail, your assets sold off.
But, also, you could tell during the Peaceful But Fiery Summer that most of them didn't even have ammunition.
I'll admit to have packed ammo when it wasn't issued, because I was a rock headed mouth breathing asshole. I also cut loose when nobody else could because FUCK THE ROE!
But it's a different world now. You have your own ammo, you slap in your mag, pop the bolt, slap the assist, and tap tap tap, now you're going to jail and General Milley Cyrus the Crybaby will get on TV and talk about how terrible toxic masculinity is.
