Biden cites completely made-up 'facts' to promote gun control(FPS)[moron speaks follow up]

Joe Biden repeatedly has claimed that AR-15 rifles need to be banned in America – part of his gun control agenda – because "the bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun."

But it turns out that like his wild and false claim that certain weapons were banned from private ownership at the ratification of the Second Amendment, he's wrong about this too.

A Field & Stream study on the "Five Fastest Rifle Cartridges," in fact, listed five products.

They include the .220 Swift, a 40-grain round that moves at about 4,300 feet per second. For the AR bullet to be five times faster, it would have to travel four miles – in a second. At the rate of 240 miles in a minute. More than 14,000 miles an hour.

Also ranked was the .257 Weatherby Magnum, which moves at about 3,700 fps, the .30/378 Weatherby, at about 3,400 fps, the .224 Clark, at about 3,500 fps, and the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer, and about 4,600 fps.

"AR-15 ruonds move at approximately 2,700-3,100 fps. Even handgun bullets can reportedly reach around 2,000 fps (though that is rare)," reported legal commentator Jonathan Turley in an article about Biden's inaccuracies.

He explained, "Conservative and gun rights publications have repeatedly shot down that claim but it does not seem to have any impact. As with Biden’s false claim that certain weapons were banned from private ownership at the ratification of the Second Amendment, the president continues to make the same false claim on velocity…"

I checked with Lucky Gunner and they seem to be out of stock of the SOL* .223 rounds. Also no husha-boom tannerite in stock. Sadly there are too many that will buy branDUHn's stoopid comments because he told us if comes down to "truth" or "facts", they'll choose "truth". Yup, 81 million.

“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, except those that fire a bullet five times faster than any other gun, and that can blow someone’s lungs clear out of the body, shall not be infringed. You know, deer aren’t wearing kevlar vests.”

Don’t expect the White House to get fact-checked or shadowbanned or anything like that for spreading misinformation, because it’s not “misinformation” when they do it. “Misinformation” is itself misinformation, because the term includes factually correct statements that are nevertheless inconvenient to the left.

“the bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun.”

Maybe he’s just trying to intimidate Russia by making them think we have “hypersonic” rifles.

No doubt putin is trembling like corn pop facing a 6 foot chain. Say, wait a minute. Would threatening a black kid with a chain be racis’? No? Okay.

A .243 with light bullets will push 4100 fps. It’s kinda hard on barrels, though.

Or he’s worried about F-15s being shot down.

It not only travels 5 times faster, but it also uses deadly karate moves as it hits the person, making it a zillion times deadlier! Just looking at the gun without special glasses on can kill a person because it’s so deadly. I understand that even just ordering one can czuse serious injuries to everyone Invovled in transporting it to the person’s residence. Whole flocks of migrating geese have been known to drop from the sky at the mere sight of the gun in public.

They are so deadly that space aliens won’t even visit the planet anymore.

Incidentally, Biden also has claimed that a ".22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body."

Liberals are incapable of telling the truth because truth is often to irritating to them and just makes them even more wicked and loathsome

That would be so cool if a hypersonic bullet existed! Thank you, Creepy Joe - our Ultra Maga scientists will get to work on it!

Still, even the relatively slow moving 45 ACP (standard hardball 230 gr fmj @ 850 fps) will kill a man as dead as joe's imaginary phantom 223 bullet.

Speed of bullet is immaterial. One will kill just like another. Somebody tell pedo joe.
