Good Article on the AR-15

#1

Post by howdy »

"The AR-15 - in many respects - is no different in terms of capabilities than many other civilian firearms, yet because of its appearance it is erroneously described as a "weapon of war."

The term was introduced by gun control advocates to confuse the matter."

I have the real facts straight from the brilliant, wise, and highly-informed Sheila Jackson Lee! An AR-15 weighs as much as 10 full moving boxes and fires huge .50 caliber bullets!

Man; I am so glad that our lawmakers understand what they're legislating.

I know what you mean. I have a friend that has a Barrett .50 BMG and when he invited me to shoot it I very helpfully brought along a hundred rounds of the ammo I use in my AR-15. For some reason, he wasn't amused. Also for some reason, he fell into an Australian accent, held up a cartridge he'd brought, and said, "That's not a bullet. This is a bullet."

But, Sheila always knows best. And she'll be the next mayor of Houston!

BTW, I wonder how many violent crimes are committed with a .50 BMG. Gotta be tens of thousands, right?

Here is an actual video of the damage a single round from an AR-15 does to a ballistic dummy.

Hard to believe that Sheila Jackson Lee will probably be the next Mayor of Houston.

Yep. The massively powerful AR-15 will blow your lungs right out of your body.

That video is proof positive that we need an outright ban on all ballistic dummies...like Sheila Jackson Lee, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Steven Dettelbach, and on and on.

I think it'll happen. And I think I'll start looking at places in surrounding counties.

Nope. It's the 9mm that bows your lungs out.
