Right here is where you said that and you are wrong.

There is no meat damage. Bullet construction is the key for that.

One of my girlfriends hunts wild turkeys with the AR-15........she can take their head off with a shot.

Not a hunter, so I can't say but what I do like about the design is that it can be disassembled and placed in an equipment bag and until it is needed, it is just equipment.

If it is needed, however, one can have an assembled rifle, ready to go, in under a minute.

Your posts are so full of misinformation that you really should just stop until you've studied ballistics, calibers, barrel twists & so much more! To those of us that know, your posts re: firearms and ammunition are just crazy funny in the extreme!

Either she, or any elected official, needs to be absolutely specific, or say nothing at all. This isn't a privilege, it's a right. I've said it before... How about banning some speech or some right of assembly, and not specifically cite what speech or assembly?

That's exactly what amorphous statements about guns means. And it's why it is diligent to counter it at every turn.
It's really amazing that I have to continue this debate. How much more specific is this:

"I respect the Second Amendment. I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns"

Yet you guys still insist that was vague or somehow means she wants to take your guns.

As I clearly have pointed out many times already, its the mechanics, layout, cartridge size, length, etc that determines whether a gun is an assault rifle or not.

But lets be true here, if you get your ban on "assault rifles" after the next criminal uses a "hunting semi auto" then they will call for a ban n them, and when the next criminal uses a pump shotgun then they will call for a ban on them, and then when the next criminal uses a handgun they will then call for a ban on them. The truth is they will only stop maybe when all is legal to own is a two shot double barrel shotgun after you get a license.

How about attacking the cause and not the symptom? The weapon is a symptom , the cause is the person behind it. While Obama and Clinton say we need to change by giving up our rights, they say they support bringing over Muslim refugees when there is no way to know who they are and no way to ask for info from the Syrian government on who they are since we decided to make that government our enemy while siding with rebels who at any other time would be enemies of us.

50 undocumented refugees come in, 2 are terrorists and there you go, and after the next and the next attack Obama,Clinton and Sanders will say " well they are not true Muslims most are peaceful. But hey citizens you gotta change with the times


Two shooters go into a crowded nightclub. One has an M1 Garand, the other an AR-15 with a detachable 30 round box mag. Assuming both shooters are of equal skill, which is able to shoot more people in a span of 3 minutes?

The military new the answer to this question when they replace the M1 Garand with the M14.
