Logical fallacies left and right smh.
We can see who would make a good parent, and who would make a bad parent: Timmy is kicking the back of your seat. Do you: a) stop, get out, take his shoes off so he can't do it with much force and bother you or b) explain why you're asking him to stop (set boundaries), give consequences/expectations People without kids might think this is stupid, but parents are in these types of situations every day. Trying to take a gun away is the quicker/easier "solution" but it's not an actual solution. Timmy will soon find another way to bother you, don't worry.

Why are we still engaging with capitan bloodz
It is clear his level of understanding on guns and such is below my 12 yr old nephew. I just gave him his first lesson in trigger safety and range etiquette last weekend Just gloss over his retorts and they're nothing but feelings and troll bait |

It's a lot easier to just block someone you perceive to be trolling you. I don't even see the 3 trolls on this boards posts at all - it's great!

AR-15 style rifles are often bought for home defense, but in reality, make terrible home defense weapons as they over-penetrate. Unless of course your goal is to shoot through multiple walls and into your neighbors home too. The AR after all was designed to penetrate an enemy helmet at 500 yards. We also can't deny the "SHTF" crowd. They drive many of the sales too. A 223/556 round will cause massive damage to a human. You cannot refute that. Don't believe me? Google "AR-15 bullet wounds". Prepare yourself though. Lots of pictures of people missing/destroyed limbs, organs, heads, wide-open chest cavities, etc. Whatever you want to call the gun, I don't give a flying fart. The AR-15 style rifle and those similar to it are lightweight, modifiable (i.e., can make it extremely compact), shoot high velocity rounds with a semi-automatic function, and have a platform specifically designed handle high capacity magazines. The rifles are super effective at killing lots of people in less than a minute. These rifles are effective in warfare because they're easily carried, packed, and can kill/injure many enemies thus why standard issue military rifles have these characteristics (including burst and auto functions). Also, soldiers can carry way more 223/556 rounds because they are light (as are the guns) and rounds don’t produce as much rifle recoil which makes the gun more accurate to shoot in rapid succession. These rifles are most effective legally-sourced gun used in public mass shootings in the past 10 or so years. They have highest kill and injury rate by mile. And as noted above, 223 rounds don’t produce as much rifle recoil which makes the gun more accurate to shoot in rapid succession. Want to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time? What legal gun are you buying?

Don't even need a gun to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time
Just a crock pot pressure cooker and a backpack Ask the Boston marathon runners and crowd about it 556 rounds are effective during warfare as you want to be able to put down suppressive fire , ie least down range to advance your position in close quarters combat You are right about it being a crappy home defense choice though I'd trust my 12 gauge over it yes , but if I'm outdoors and there's cover and or distance, nothing beats the AR |

Just keep in mind that the definition of home defense is not the same for everybody. For some, home defense is 800 sq.ft. For others, home defense is 3 acres. In some instances I would grab a shotgun and in others I would grab one of my AR pistols.
Over penetration is also ammo dependent. Our duty ammo is purposely made softer and the powder mixture is different to avoid over penetration, which is why we use our AR's indoors when we breach and/or clear locations. Shotgun ammo can over penetrate as well (….and so can handgun rounds). We've tested them all. All of our duty ammo is manufactured to reduce/avoid over penetration. P.S. A Florida resident defended his home using his AK-47. He shot at the intruders. No charges will be filed. God is good! |

curious, lets just say that tomorrow the .gov finds every AR and destroys them.
When the next mass shooting happens, will they try to ban those too? and assuming that that weapon is banned, and there's another mass shooting, will that be banned? The kids at Uvalde would be just as dead today if it was an 870 pump with 00 buck shot, hell he had over an hour, he could have used a single action black powder revolver. Just last week Shinzo Abe was shot with a homemade zip gun, in a country where civilian gun ownership is heavily regulated. |

Very interesting to see Pritzker calling for an "Assault Weapons" Ban when this fool's investment group owned Signicast, one of the largest casting houses in the US that manufactureds..you guessed it...most components for AR15's and a variety of other platforms. He only offloaded it when he became governor...such a hypocrite.
A ban of any sort is certainly not going to work, but it sounds good and gives people the warm and fuzzies. What we need to focus on more is mental health and proper intervention. Its not a gun issue, its a people issue. Its a mental health issue and in a world dominated by social media, help is needed more than ever.

This sounds like the perfect weapon for "a well regulated militia.” Thanks for galvanizing the need for an AR-15 and it’s protection under 2A. |

As an aside, didn't help that their trigger discipline was pretty abysmal which added fuel to the people that wanted them hung out to dry. |

Beyond the debate about guns, the main topic of this thread is about the poor victims at the parade. And there's no humor or ability to lighten up anything given the initial purpose of this thread. |

Let me guess, you hunt and/or parade around in tactical gear, own everything tactical, and have multiple glammed out AR-15s. You SHTF and misguided 2A diehards guys crack my stuff up. Good luck with your "militia"
