An AR-15 is not a weapon of war? BULLSH*T!!!
It is a very deadly weapon with the same basic funcationality
So are all rifles for 135+ years ... unchanged! Period!
So why are we
only talking like this the
last 30 years? What changed within the last 30 years?
And more recently ...
This totally and easily disproven falsehood is why no one of any modicum of analysis listens to this narrative ... period. Not even the military itself!
that our troops use to kill the enemy.
No, our troops
do not use a selective fire, fully automatic (which is
not even allowed for civilian ownership) .223"/5.56mm to effectively kill the enemy.
The US Army has long concluded, especially since the '90s, when special forces started dropping it, but now formally, for all combat troops, that the M4/M16 and it's 5.56mm is
combat ineffective in over 80% of engagements, and ...
Have finally replaced it ... officially!
The M4/M16 is now, officially regulated to non-combat troops for this reason ...
as it was originally when it was first standardized by the USAF -- yes
Air Force -- for base deterrence. The US Army and Marine Corps had a general dislike of Armalite Rifles (AR) for a reason! (even the AR10 had a lot of issues in Dutch et al. service as well)
It was never, ever designed for the general infantry, only adopted because the USAF had already standardized it. It never went through a full design-adoption phase, period. It was only because the Vietnam War pushed logistics to a new level, that it ended up being adopted.
It was small enough and with low enough recoil for Vietnamese forces to handle it, hence why it was already
'in country' before the US adopted it too.
Maybe we need to show gun fetishists like you the graphic, crime scene photographs of the human carnage caused by an AR-15 assault rifle in places like a Uvalde classroom or the streets of a Highland Park Fourth of July parade. Maybe THEN it'll start to sink in.
That's
100% of all rifles over the last 135 years! 100%! This is why you are utterly ignorant. Everyone with a modicum of understand of high school physics and basic firearms knowledge knows you're an idiot for making these
'only AR-15s!' type statements!
And even auto-loading rifles 240+ years old still have many aspects that are similar, including similar energies and reloads to modern, semi-automatic pistols too.
Again, stop making this about AR-15
'style' and recognize 100% of those arguments apply to 100% of rifles ... period. That is fact, and not disputed by those who actually analyze it ... like the FBI. You are proliferating a completely and
repeatedly proven false narrative.
If the .223"/5.56mm is guilty of anything, it's as the US Army repeatedly found ... it does not incapacitate (or kill for that matter) as good as nearly all other rifle cartridges (sometimes even 1/3rd or 1/5th), including nearly all that predate it.
And even larger cross-section pistol caliber carbines are very effective against civilians not wearing body armor. That's why the mob used the .45 ACP on civilians a full century ago too. In most mass shootings, like Columbine, even 9mm pistol caliber weapons in short barrels are extremely effective ... and easy to maneuver.
That's why special forces have long used them against terrorists and forces without body armor. Those are literally centuries old, including not requiring cordiate or modern powders in the last 140 years. We literally name a 'Peace Prize' after the Scandinavian who invented it too! Oh the irony (and ignorance)!
Can you have enough respect for yourself and your wife's safety to acknowledge what has become painfully obvious to most sane people in this country?
Yes ... that criminals with guns will kill him and his wife, and statistically so ...
almost an order of magnitude more. But AR15
'style' weapons don't kill hardly anyone in the US ... or Canada ... for that matter.
You are not only statistical ignorant like the US Mass and Social Media, but at odds with even the US military facts on the matter, stating total falsehoods.
