It has been very informative.

Like how the woman showed the difference of the impact of the weapon Obama has on the list to ban vs others which are not. One thing Obama has done, he has made it to where more citizens will want to learn about gun safely for self defense.

In NY, the good guys have 7 bullets..the bad guys have 15.

Typical stupid liberalism.

I hope many many people saw Hanity tonight. The show was very informative and it showed just how stupid the Liberals are concerning guns. To me, it proves what we all believe, they aren’t worried about the safety of the children , or anybody else, they just want our guns.

I rarely watch Fox any more but did this evening, glad I did.

I hope I am not doing harm to what was being shown tonight ... but the caliber exposition was a little light on substance. First let me write that the argument for the 2nd Amendment has nothing to so with the type of weapon being used. It is about defending against tyranny.

Now back to the substance. The little .223 round, more correctly a 5.56 mm round that most AR-15's shoot can be made to fragment. Think small entry wound, but upon entry it shatters and tears everything a part for a good 8 to 12 inches. You can google pictures of actual 5.56 mm wounds. It looks nothing like what was on Hannity.

So why do I bring this up? If liberals were knowledgable about shooting, they could tear the shooting exposition apart. BUT, the size of bullet is not a valid argument for or against the 2nd Amendment.

I should mention, that is completely possible to make a 5.56 mm round that does not fragment. Simply increase the weight of the projectile and slow it down. In fact, there are rounds that are made to penetrate body armor that are made exactly that way. Alternatively, you can use a very light round (less mass) and high speed to penetrate. It is also possible to do the same type of things, fragment or penetrate, with other calibers and weapons.

We should get caught up in types of weapons and size of bullets because it is a losing argument. Guns are made to kill. I have no problem with that. I much rather make the argument about freedom and liberty in countries that do not have the right to bear arms. Or the tens of millions of people that were murdered by tyrants after gun confiscation in they last hundred years.
