What Dianne Feinstein Doesn’t Know About Hunting Rifles: Quote of the Day
The Truth About Guns ^ | 03/15/18 | Robert Farago

Posted on 03/15/2018 6:52:44 AM PDT by Simon Green

“These weapons fire much faster than typical hunting rifles. They fire rounds that are also deadlier than those fired from a hunting rifle. A Parkland radiologist noted that an AR-15 round may leave an exit wound “the size of an orange.” These weapons are designed to kill people, not animals.” California Senator Dianne Feinstein, Students are right on gun control, and Republicans are dangerously wrong [via usatoday.com]

I’ll let Feinstein shoot 100 rounds out of my 7mm any day she wants... I will shoot 100 rounds out of my AR. Then we will see who feels like they got kicked by a mule.

Cower in place.

My uncle hit me with that BS a while ago. Saw one of my rifles...and decided that he’d take it apart.

Handed the bolt to a family member and said that he didn’t think that rifle should be there.

See, he LOVES going out shooting targets with his little 22 plinker. I love that too.

My 308, however...was designed to kill, and was more dangerous.

I no longer have an uncle.

“These weapons are designed to kill people, not animals.”

Early patents in the US showed firearms were considered “a machine for throwing balls”. No mention of the target.

it all depends on what the target is.

If you will remember, back around 1989, an anti-AK-47 movement was spread by the news media.
To show how dangerous these rifles were a melon was shot. It merely poked holes in the melon.
So a melon was shot with a different firearm and an exploding bullet. Great blow up of the melon.

That night on the national news, we see an AK-47s fired, then a cut to an exploding melon. No mention a different firearm or bullet used.

Yes, that video was made by some California gun club members, in an effort to bring some rationality to the anti-AK hysteria that gripped the state after the shootings in Stockton. I think the watermelons were shot with an AK and a hunting rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum - a BAR, I believe. And yes, the media quickly edited the footage to make the "evil" gun seem more lethal.

A lot of the "news" has been fake for a long time now.

I can’t even imagine the Liberal outrage if AR-15’s were primarily White instead of Black.

I bet she’d really be frightened by a .416 Rigby! That’s a hunting rifle, Feinswine.

I finally got my wife to try shooting my AR-15. She tensed up, I told her to relax. “Why, that hardly kicks at all”, she said. I just smiled.

The mass density of an elk or deer is obviously greater than tgat of a human. Either that or the bullet loses most of its energy penetrating their leather hide.

Last I heard, there were 7 Concealed Carry Permits issued in San Francisco. Feinstein & her bodyguards have 6 of those permits.

The PH-15 fires death rays. It is available in all hardware stores.
