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.”

I imagine Que Mala is more in favor of blow-back operating systems.

Mark Kelly is a gas-operated weapon of lethal capacity.

Semi auto rifles have been around since 1903. Now suddenly they are bad?
Why no mass killings until the mental hospitals closed down in the 1970s and the patients let out on the streets?

I have never seen anyone milk a tragedy like Mark Kelly.

Way back then Mark Kelly was milking, milking, milking every single morning on TV.

By about the 3rd time I saw him it was painfully obvious.

I thought, 🤔 who can be fooled by this guy? 🤔

But there is Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama too.

One thing Mr. Kelly isn’t realizing...every vehicle that ever used a piston is gas operated. The hot expanding gasses of the ignition of the fuel / air mixture uses those gasses to drive the piston downward. Is he going to seek to bad internal combustion engines too?

It is not stupidity.

We saw this in Canada.

First the Liberals banned direct impingement semi-autos. The gun lobby tried to argue they were no different than pushrod activation.

Then a couple years later, the Liberals said pushrod semi autos are just the same and benned them as well.

And their urban idiot voters said fine: you are punishing people we hate, so we don’t care about the details.

Exactly! And I guess that day is coming for the 5.56, though I guess they would have to be neutered.

10/22 is recoil operated. But with a short trigger pull you can rattle off a bunch of rounds in a hurry.

Perhaps Armalite should offer a Carbon Neutral version of the 15. Just call it that.

There're also gluten free and qualify as vegan approved as they do not include any animal by products.
