Quite efficient at its intended purpose: Killing Tyrants.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, Fast & Furious just to name a few.
Follow Eric Holder’s career and you’ll know why the public should have the right to anything the police state has.
Actually that is not true. The M-16/M-4 was designed to fire a small projectile at a high rate of speed so it bounces around and does sever damage, i.e wound/injure. In that way it removes more soldiers from the battle field. The wounded and those removing him from the battlefield. Obviously a well placed round kills, but with an M-16, hit a guy in the shoulder and it may exit out his ass. Just saying. But in general, all firearms can kill. Had a girl I knew in H.S. that went to Spring Break with a bunch of friends. Guy breaks into room and kidnaps her in front of her friends. They found her body on the side of a road with a 22 round in her skull.
But, sadly, I agree with many here that fear the government as much or more than anything else.
