As a liberal who shares your derision of neckbeard libertarians...

The AR-15 is a cool gadget. If you don't think guns are cool pieces of mechanical engineering, I suggest going to the range and firing a few.

While you are there shoot a Glock, Sig, and a nice bolt action rifle.

I honestly have never known anyone who didn't tone down their anti-gun hate after having gone to the range with a knowledgeable, capable, and safe chaperone. I have taken several and everyone always had an enjoyable time, just stress the safety aspects consistently!

Never shot a bolt-action, but did get to shoot an AR-15 and an AK once. The AR-15 was so smooth, had a holographic sight and a stock that collapsed to take off the recoil, felt like I was reaching out and poking holes in the target with a sharp pencil.
