Guns: how much longer will it take ....

I disagree. They chose to compare them with the goal of misleading people about the AR-15.



That is incorrect. It is just an ordinary rifle.



Classic hunting rifles can be stowed, carried, and deployed easily too.

I agree that larger magazines make a weapon more dangerous, but that is the case with any gun and is not unique to the AR-15.



OK. And?



Michigan state troopers have H&K MP5 submachineguns in their cars (real full auto too, not semi-auto-only).

I don't approve (not that they care what I think).

I know it is probably the most easily controlled full-auto ever made (that isn't fixed to a tripod anyway), but full auto just seems to me to be an opportunity to miss the bad guys and hit bystanders.

That is an acceptable risk in war with soldiers on a battlefield. But I think policing should require the utmost care to avoid accidentally shooting bystanders.



North Hollywood bank robbery.



True. But the the police had shotguns before that.

A blast of #1 buckshot is a different type of wound from a high velocity rifle bullet, but it actually destroys a similar amount of flesh.

You don't seem to realize just how dumb your argument is. ar-15s literally tear people to shreds. arguins other long guns are equally deadly, it simply means they should be banned too. You've provided inescapable logic for banning all of them, not just ar15s. fgood work.

That's because it's not dumb.



As do most long guns.



Not a chance. The American people will never allow you to outlaw their hunting shotguns.



Of course my work is good. I'm the one who did it after all.

But thanks for the compliment.

Here is the profile of a wound from a .357 magnum handgun.


Now here is the profile of a wound from an AR-15. And yes, it is more devastating than the handgun wound.


Now here is the profile of a wound from a deer rifle. Notice the different scale of the ruler on the bottom. Notice also that the deer rifle produces a more devastating wound than the AR-15 does. There is a reason why deer rifles are good for deer while AR-15s are good for smaller animals. People who are shot with AR-15s are taken to the hospital. People who are shot with deer rifles are taken to the morgue.


Now here is the profile of a wound from a blast of buckshot. Notice that although it is a much different kind of wound than made by rifles, it still is much more devastating than a wound from a handgun.

Keep going. You're making the case for considering banning all of them stronger. and we've got an adminustration which basically owes norhing to the nra.No need to stop with the ar-15. People don't particularly want to see their kids blown aplart, you know.

Not a chance. You don't even have the political muscle to outlaw AR-15s. Your talk of outlawing "even more" is delusion.

You keep forgetting that America is a democracy. The American people will never permit you to outlaw their hunting shotguns.

there are a lotople and they of those people and they have guns. that's the point that Samuel L and you miss.

should be : there are a lot of those people and they have guns.

Ever notice.... Why is it that Jack the Ripper never felt like he'd been left out of anything for not owning a gun??

Wasn't jack the ripper a little before AK 15?

That was the point. He didn't have any such weapons available to him.

seems to me thsat is the poiint. 1890s london had ONE jack the ripper b ecause it's hard to kill more than one person at a time with a scalpel. Now we've had close to 300 mass shootings just this year because it's so much easier to kill a bunch of people at once with an ar-15 or other semiautos. Make it easier for them and sychos will emerge.. thanks, nra.

The point is that it was not hard at all for Jack the Ripper to kill a huge number of people.

Sure, he did it one at a time. But that didn't prevent him from racking up a huge body count.

Jack the Ripper killed five people over three years.

The NRA butchers hundreds every week.

The NRA has not killed a single person.

5 ripper murders 5 over three months is a huge number? Niic cruz killed three times that many in 4 and a half minutes in parkland with an ar15. Another of your signature stupid arguments. Riu

They'd be just as dead if he'd killed them with a knife.

Monumentally stupid argument. a

Liar.
