Better go with revolvers, limp wrists and semi-autos don’t go together.

I don’t even want an AR-15 but feel compelled to go out and buy one just because they keep saying I shouldn’t be able to.
The round is loud, fast and puny.
Good for ground hogs and coyotes.

No one deserves to die and be wounded like they were. Arming themselves shoves it in the face of Obama, the Democrats, and murdering Islamics who will kill you too without second thought.
Though I disagree with their lifestyle, their arming up is an act of defiance to Dems amd Islamics, and self preservation from the worst enemy of all of us.

Stopped by a local shop on the way home tonight. Just looking to see what they had available. Pretty good selection.

I also noticed a young mother with her two young daughters. She was checking out with a brand new Ruger LCP.

I gave her my congratulations!

Yes, him and his Muzzie campatriots, are the best gun salesman to come along in awhile.

Don't knock the high velocity .223/5.56 round.

It's designed to pierce then tumble, creating major internal organ damage. Plus the recoil is minimal.

What a waste of ammo. They might just throw the gun at future shooters..

Oh, I don’t know. Worked just fine for the IRA during the Troubles.

Then get an AR in an alternate caliber. I’ve kind of been jonesing for one in 300 Blackout with a supressor. A 220 grain 30 caliber bullet traveling just under sonic speeds can do some damage.

I’ll say it again.

At 100 yards the .223 round has the same energy as a .45 ACP does at the muzzle.

Good.

The problem is not the surge in gun sales since Orlando, the problem is the illegal alien and moslem surge since obongo has been in office.

You are comparing it to a pistol cartridge. Compare it to a real rifle round, .308, .30-06, 7.62x54R, 8mm

According to the fat dipstick Michael Moore, the .223/5.56 is banned by the Geneva Convention because it enters the body and explodes!!

I thought, how cool is that? I can go to WalMart and buy ammo that is banned by the Geneva Convention.
