Best regards,
What an ignorant bloviating ass.
“I must say for a certified forensics expert this guy is clearly a danger to himself and others. “
And what else did you expect from a system wherein the Judge, the Prosecution, and the defense, all consider themselves “Brothers In The Law”?
Had I had to deal with the “expert”, my question would be “Which country allows such a gun on elephant hunts?”
No s**t, Sherlock. That's the whole point of a gun.
With a 19” barrel and a 5.56 mm NATO round, not my idea of an “elephant gun.” What a stupid, imprecise term anyway. Just what does it mean to be an “elephant gun?” Just want to inflame emotions of the un-informed I guess.

It shoots SUPERSONIC BULLETS!
It has a TRIGGER GUARD!
OMG I’m still laughing.
Holy crap! I just checked all my guns and guess what? Trigger guards!
Worse, this lying FRAUD should be enough reason, all by himself, for retrials in all 300 cases he was supposedly an "expert witness" for.
Yeah...bear hunting with a .223, YEAH...!
Never have I heard a guy stretch soooo little knowledge so far. He’s just slapping on a confidence voice to paper over his thin knowlege.
It doesn’t work at all.
And are we to believe that 3,000 fps is some really unusual ballistic velocity? Very average, in fact.
The interviewer was also an idiot.
Been a gunsmith for 33 years. this guy is a moron.
When I was at Southern Miss in the late 80’s there was a big push to ban assault rifles. All the media were pushing it.
One of the local TV stations had on a Hattiesburg Cop. They were interviewing him as an expert on firearms. One statement he made immediately showed him to know nothing of what he was saying.
He said the AR-15 could not be used for hunting because if you hit a deer with that cartridge there would be nothing left to eat.
Yes he really did say it.
He'd do the same thing with a .22 short. "The bullet is typically LEAD! LEAD!!! That's an element more dense and massive than iron!!! It's essentially depleted uranium!!!! Uranium is what destroyed Hiroshima!!!!! The bullet EXPLODES from the barrel three times faster than a Boeing 747 at TAKEOFF!!!!"
Unfortunately this is the kind of "expert" that often testifies particularly on behalf of the prosecution.
So it would take five or ten minutes of reading the manual to know that you don't put rounds of ammo down the barrel like a Civil War cannon and you don't karate chop the scope to fire it. Congratulation, now you are an expert.
I have a .223 myself. Ever see all those pock-marks on the Moon? That was me.
Yeah, you could bring down an elephant with a 55 grain .223.
Just need to use a few hundred or so.
This clown must be on Bloomberg’s or Schumer’s payroll.
I don’t know that much about guns but I wouldn’t use a .223 on anything larger than a cougar, not even if it’s charging. ... elephants?????
Subject Matter Expert? This isn’t even a good advert for the gun grabbers...
Both of these guys are post turtles. Whoever gave them their jobs should be slapped.
