During the Monday episode of “Morning Joe,” the popular MSNBC host informed his audience that the AR-15 weapon is more powerful than the weapons used by America in Vietnam.

Of course, that’s complete fiction and utter nonsense, but that didn’t stop him from lying again.

Where the hell is Scarborough getting his information from? A simple Google search will tell you that the idea that the AR-15 is more lethal, powerful or deadly than the M16s used in Vietnam is downright laughable.

OhNoJoe should be glad it wasn't 9mm lung poppers that were being used. .50 cal ma deuce----AR-15 says "Meh, watch this Ma!" The stoopid is painful. Then again he and meekah make a good pair. Or is it pear? No, I think a pear is smarter than both of them together.

[SAMWolf]

I carried the M-14, now that was a battle rifle!

[Yo-Yo]

Nor was it more powerful or lethal than the M14s used prior to the introduction of the M16.

[From The Deer Stand]

Democrats lie. That’s common knowledge.

[rktman]

Oh yeah. We have been advised of late that 9mm is the most lethal round ever produced. No, really. .308? 30-06? That ain’t nuthin’. Right branDUHn?

[dainbramaged]

Joe simply isn’t that bright.

[PIF]

.50 cal ma deuce——AR-15 says “Meh, watch this Ma!”

Mr 105mm M102 says, “Surprise Ma Duce, Joe and Micah!”

[jeffersondem]

I will buy a medium-priced hamburger for the first person that can make sense of what Joe has said.

[NorthMountain]

I translate Joe’s statement as “I’m a complete fxxxing moron, I have no idea what the heck I’m talking about, and every word out of my diseased gob is a lie.”

I prefer Sonic or Five Guys.

[FreedomPoster]

Redleg, eh?

Thanks for serving.

[Mouton]

Same here. Expert on both the 14 and 16.

I wonder what these yahoos would say if they learned the military is considering going to a larger caliber because the 556 is under powered.

[Parley Baer]

Joe is an idiot of the highest order. That statement is just more proof of it.

[GMMC0987]

“popular MSNBC host”? He’s not even in the top twenty.

[JBW1949]

Hey Joe...Ever fire an M60??????

[butlerweave]

Powerful means nothing if you can’t hit anything

[SERKIT]

Morning Slow Joe forgot about the pew selector.

There was pew,
then pew pew pew,
then pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

[Big Red Badger]

Feeble Joe,
The sock Puppet?
.
Good Luck.

[Blood of Tyrants]

the L1A1 that the Aussies carried in Vietnam was better. Yes, I’m a FAL fan.

[Rinnwald]

Joe is an idiot. There have been improvements to .556 in the intervening years, as all ammo has gotten better since the Vietnam War. But it really doesn’t make up for the rate of fire difference between the AR15 and M16.

And, the number of chamberings now available in the short action AR15 are mind boggling. Thousands of online discussions on gun forums can’t unpack that can of worms.

That’s why the AR15 is America’s favorite rifle. It can accommodate all shooters with adjustments to ergonomics, recoil, and the full gamut of sights and technology.

So, the rifle that works for everybody should be banned /sarc.
