"O’Rourke said he planned to take away high-powered weapons from civilians if elected president."

An AR-15 is not a high power weapon. Most deer hunter won't use it as it is not powerful enough. They consider it inhumane.

In some states anything under .25 calibre is illegal for deer hunting...

Hi.

You are correct. Almost all states will not allow deer hunting with a 5.56mm cartridge.

Some states even disallow 7.62 for deer, big game hunting.

Just sayin.

5.56mm

I figure in a day or two, he will claim that he REALLY said he planned to take away high-powered weapons from mentally ill civilians if elected president, and that it was obvious what he meant.

Not true, The AR-15 is manufactured in a multitude of calibers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AR_platform_calibers

Correct. The 5.56mm round was designed to wound and disable more than kill, because you wind up with more of the enemy tied up taking care of the wounded. It will kill, and can cause a lot of internal damage even if it doesn't, but a 30 caliber bullet like a .308 or 7.62mm have more mass and pack a bigger punch.
