Many of the broken bolt threads are the DIRECT result of poor rifle maintenance.
I guess you would be justifiable in saying "...if you only put 100 rounds down range per year they could be a good value but I wouldn't trust my life on them IF THEY ARE NEARING 5,000 rounds."
But to say a brand-new (well, broken-in) $399 AR-15 can't be trusted to protect you in a "non-combat" situation smells like fear-mongering to me.
Do good rifle maintenance (like any responsible owner should), Keep calm, carry on, Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition.
