[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally don’t feel well enough today to go look but I’m glad they’re showing some of the carnage.

Too many gun nuts get to play pretend that AR15 guns don’t do anything special. Literally on this site in the last three months or so, one of those ignoramuses was arguing that there’s nothing especially bad about the wounds from these weapons, even though the doctors who have had to treat these wounds talk about the massive damage they do, in part from “cavitation.”

The GOP wants us all scared and cowering. [/quote]

Show me a modern centerfire rifle round that doesn’t produce cavitation. Every comparison I’ve seen by the anti gun crowd has shown the effects of 5.56mm AR15 ammunition vs PISTOL ammunition which isn’t apples to apples. A bullet from a 30-06 hunting rifle from 100 years ago will produce more devastating wounds, not to say the 5.56mm wounds aren’t already devastating.

Why not just say you want to ban or heavily restrict all semi automatic rifles? That would actually be an effective policy. It doesn’t make sense to try to ban AR15’s while leaving other models still legal. [/quote]
