"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."

Re: Good Article on the AR-15
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.

Re: Good Article on the AR-15
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?

Re: Good Article on the AR-15
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.Chemist45 wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 9:23 pm Here is an actual video of the damage a single round from an AR-15 does to a ballistic dummy.
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.howdy wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 9:44 pm Hard to believe that Sheila Jackson Lee will probably be the next Mayor of Houston.
