Scarborough: AR-15 “More Lethal than M-16”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/20/2018 4:26:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough often touts his deep roots in the gun culture, growing up in the South. But either he never knew as much about guns as he’s claimed, or his passion for gun control has made him forget or ignore what he once knew.

On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough repeatedly claimed that the AR-15, used in Parkland and in other mass shootings, is “more lethal” than the M-16. H/t FReeper SnuffaBolshevik.

As mentioned in the article: “I’m just a born-in-the-Bronx Finkelstein who grew up entirely outside the gun culture. I’m counting on my readers to make the case better than I can.”

So any additions or corrections will be appreciated.

I don’t own an AR15, I did carry one (M16) in Vietnam for 2 years. Worst piece of unreliable crap I ever seen in my life. It frequently jammed and on one occasion, during a fire fight, nearly got me killed while I was trying to clear the jam and remove the bend round with a screwdriver while the other guys were shooting at me.
And I don’t need to hear that it was caused by rounds firing too fast, In the 2 years I carried that POS, I never fired except on the single shot position (only the first round on auto does goes with any accuracy).

Deliverance Banjo Boy knows about lethality as applied to female campaign workers.

A .22 slug that hits the target is more lethal than a .223 that doesn’t.

The AR-15 has killed more people in Mass Shooting Incidents in the US than the M-16. It is therefore lethaler.

-- I wonder if he means M-60. --

LOL. Or Abrams tank.

He just talks to hear himself talk. It make no difference if what he says makes sense or utter nonsense. He has time to fill and viewers to agitate.

Wasn't morning TV more thoughtful when this person was on, as opposed to Scarborough?

SOMEBODY TELL ME THIS STORY!!!!

I’ve read about it, little hints here and there on here, but don’t now what it’s all about.

Can anyone throw it together in synopsis form? Would appreciate.

M-16 fires 5.56mm. They’re loaded a bit hotter then most 223. Some ar-15s will fire 5.56mm too, but most are 223. To the eye you can’t see much difference, but they’re not interchangeable. You could fire 223 in a 5.56mm rifle, but not the other way around. Either way, to say an ar-15 is more powerful than an m-16 is absurd.

You can get ar-15s with other chamberings, but not as common.

How, if they had said an ar-10 is more powerful than an m-16, then they’d maybe have a point, as it stands, they’re just trying to set the stage.

Calamity is coming, Trump is just one man, be ready.

Ronald Reagan: “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”

More lethal? My Model 71 Winchester 348 is more lethal than either. And it tells you how much more lethal every time you shoot it. (200gr at 2800 fps, or handload 250gr at 2200 fps)
