Compared to a 30.06, 303, or 8mm the 223 is really a small round and much safer to shoot. Not sure what the over reaction to them is other then they don’t want any guns.
1)Velocity kills. 2) If they can ban the least military cartridge, the others suddenly become “X-times more powerful than the already banned AR-15.”
Yup, some people have no idea, especially libtards. I would much rather be shot with a handgun or a “terrifying” assault rifle than a simple bolt action rifle chambered with 30.06, 303, 7mm, 8mm, etc.
Cosmetics - they ‘look evil’ and frighten the Fudds who clutch their ancient wooden stocked antiques.

223 is not safer to shoot than those other calibers.
Not sure what you meant by “safer”. The .223 round has a very high muzzle velocity and is a very lethal round.
