For Politicians: Accurate Description of AR-15 Features

#1

Post by Pawpaw »

(I found this on another forum and just had to share it here.)

There are a lot of conflicting points of view on what the purpose and use of AR-15 parts, components, features, and accessories are for. This is the most accurate description I've ever seen so I wanted to share in hopes of helping clarify the technical jargon for future conversation sake...

No, it isn't. It doesn't mention the shoulder thing that goes up.

You beat me to it.

It also doesn't talk about the 30 caliber magazine clip that it can shoot in half a second.
Keep calm and carry.

Don't worry about the high capacity magazines. They'll all be used up, eventually :biggrinjester:

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

I really want to know how that sheriff responded. I hope he set her straight and told her that she's in absolutely no position to be legislating what she doesn't understand.

Based on his comments in this video, I'm sure he exposed her idiocy:
