Mark Kelly Whips Up Fear of ‘Gas-Operated’ AR-15s: Here’s Why that Doesn’t Mean Anything
Breitbart ^ | 12/01/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 12/01/2023 7:53:52 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is pushing a ban on AR-15s by focusing on their gas operation system approximately 64 years after the gun’s design included such a system.

Breitbart News reported that Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and a group of Senate Democrats, including Kelly, introduced an AR-15 ban early Thursday. In so doing, they used new catchphrases such as “lethal capacity weapons” and “gas-operated semiautomatic.

Later Thursday, Kelly posted a video on X in which he continued to emphasize the new catchphrases by explaining that this latest attempt to ban AR-15s and similar rifles “focuses on the lethality of their internal mechanisms.”

Send both of them to the ISS to clean the outside of the ISS Windows.

And cut the wires to the microphone in their EVA Suits.

I am sure that Kelly knows that the only folks who listen to him for more than 37 seconds are his double-digit IQ constituents, folks that believe almost anything.

It’s just for the kick of having Fedex deliver it directly.

Problem is that most of them are stupid and dangerous, not just him.

There was also a certain amount of irony in my post.

I can’t decide between solar and wind operation. Hydro would be too inconvenient.

Yeah but, the piston is gas driven. (See AK-47, et al). Just no escaping gas operated guns unless it’s a simple blowback bolt like pistol caliber carbines and handguns. Oh wait... That’s what the moron wants, isn’t it.

The M-1 combat rifle with which I trained in USN basic training was a gas-operated semiautomatic weapon. Big whoop.

A well-placed shot with a .22 short will kill you just as dead.

Fair point.

And there was something special about getting my M1 delivered by USPS.

The most popular small game rifle for kids to learn to hunt with for the last 60 years is the Ruger 10/22. A gas operated rifle with a detachable magazine.

Most cheap sub-machine guns used in WW2 were blow back action weapons and not the more complicated gas operated semiautomatics.

I would much rather have a blow back sub-machine gun than a semiautomatic AR clone.

I find it ironic when politicians complain about gas.
