Yeah it's so obvious. Gun matters. As long as the propellant is still burning and gasses are expanding while the bullet is in the barrel then the bullet will continue to accelerate hence higher velocity at the end of a longer barrel. Conversely excess propellant still burning when the bullet reaches the end of a shorter barrel does nothing for velocity and just makes a big fireball.

Gun nerds. They're the only ones who care about this stupid response to a stupid statement.
May God protect us all from gun nerds! Who wants to be the victim of the fastest bullet ever shot?

I think you meant to say "who wants to be the victim of _any_ bullet, even if it isn't the 'fastest bullet ever'"? Otherwise the post is a bit confusing.

When I heard that on the radio this morning, I wanted to slug it. How can this imbecile be allowed to spew outright lies like this?

What is the old horse's ass's idea of "other gun"? A sixteenth century muzzle loader? A BB gun?

The whole point went right over you head didn't it? An AR-15 is nowhere NEAR shooting the fastest bullet (especially five times faster--that's ludicrous). It was an outright lie. And of course you don't care as long as the lie isn't harming your political worldview. If it did, you'd be screaming like a banshee.

The people who believe the Vegetable in Chief, also believe we're a democracy, and that a majority can dictate to the minority... just because they voted so.
Sad.

Actually details do matter. You ridicule and don't care, because you are either anti firearm, or believe the lies spewed by the anti firearm crowd.

If it was a topic you did care about, you'd want the details and facts to be correct.

Posts like this are why this country is doomed. ("My guy may be bad but your guy is badder") If that is the basis of decision making and argumentation- we are f*(^ed.

They get their talking points from the various anti-gun groups.
