Is he wrong?

Would you want to use that weapon in an urban area? Would you use it to hunt deer?
No, he said 30 rounds in 1/2 second.....that is technically incorrect and completely false.

So, yes he is wrong.

So, you base everything off 1 person?

ANd why did you not address the deer hunting issue? Ohhhhh, because it is a good deer hunting round and IS legal in some states....

He proved you wrong...

Then what gives him the right to get up there and lie about it?

Can we have more choices on your list of uses?

You are right that in the larger scheme of things the technical error is irrelevant, however, to keep his credibility he should at least pretend to be familiar with his subject. In business a mistake like that would cast doubt on the accuracy and thought you put into a project or process.

And to argue most of the audience is as uninformed of technical nuance as he, is like having a doctor tell you your prostrate thingy is bad. Well yes I meant prostate...... but you know what I mean. Well no i never saw a prostate gland but I'll try to find a photo on the web before I do the surgery.

Steinberg (Sacramento) said that (the currently legal sporting rifles) are capable of "shooting 200 bullets at once" unlike handguns which shoot "1, 2, 3, 4..."

Never mind that legal semi automatic rifles have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds, and function exactly the same as a semi auto pistol - one trigger pull, one round.

But this is the inane argument used to pass the highly unconstitutional SB 374. This brilliant statement trumped his opponents (Both R and D) who brought up facts, logic, statistics and frankly how unconstitutional the law was.

So, yes he is wrong.

Carefully crafted lies to trick more fools into believing that it's possible to get machine guns in California at any gun counter.

Absolutely not. It would be unethical to hunt with such a small, underpowered round as the 2.223/5.56 on an animal as large as a deer. (And in fact, illegal in many places.) However, it would be useful on varmints... gophers, squirrels, coyote.
