Listening to the Doctors being interviewed this morning I learned that because the AR 15 is a military weapon it has bigger bullets and does more damage than a civilian gun. Wow! Who knew that .223 was larger than a 45acp?
And yet, the AR15 is NOT a military weapon. The military equivalent is the M16 which is a select-fire rifle. The AR15 is the semi-auto variant. Not to say that vets and non-vets don’t love the platform all the same, but the military uses what the civilian population can’t buy (or afford, anyway).
I wish someone would school these idiots on the differences, but they don’t care. It’s a distinction without a difference in their minds. Guns = death according to liberals.
I’m glad our governor has stayed out of the discussion up to this point. I talked to my rep, and his office has assured me that there are no discussions of gun control in Tallahassee at this time.
Wow! All the posts on this thread about ignorance concerning guns and ammunition and you refer to a cartridge designation that has been obsolete for over 75 years. Please go to SAAMI.org to learn correct cartridge designations and terminology.
