Only about 2-3% of gun deaths are accidental
Dems are bending over backwards trying to erode rights over a statistically insignificant issue
exactly
Instead of trying to limit what guns or magazines you can own, they could try mental health programs to lower suicide rates, after school programs or internship opportunities to keep kids out of gangs, maybe even have gun education in health class to reduce accidental gun deaths
At least we have this going for us, people are getting fed up with gun control
The more the ar15 is demonized and misrepresented in media the more people will buy them
All democrats need is to stop trying to ban guns, ammo, and gun accessories and they could get a bunch of votes
The republican party is nothing without its single issue voters
Isn't Armaligth 15 the Standard anyway??
doesn't everyone have one that owns a gun??
just about
Not everyone, but the sunsetting of the 1994 assault weapons ban made the platform very popular
Go to a rifle range and most guns there will probably be ARs or AKs
The most popular class of gun is handguns though
1 in every 5 guns sold is an ar15 iirc
Also several states ban the ar15, it could be more popular than it is now if not for that
The AR15 is a cheap semi automatic rifle chambered in a round that's viable for self defense, has been banned in the past federally and some states right now, and is demonized by the media
Problem is: The Bad Guys will get their hands on a rifle anyway, so that only leaves the good guys without a gun
Not even that, in the US we have the 2nd amendment
that as well...
If you are anti gun you either have to somehow limit gun rights without technically infringing upon it or modify/repeal the amendment which is much more difficult than getting activist judges in the courts
Not sure about that particular incident but im not surprised, in countries with strict gun laws there's no reason not to have full auto guns for use in crime
One of the easiest guns to manufacture on your own is an open bolt full auto smg

We don't talk about the MDR.
Worked in government, can confirm that racial profiling is encouraged privately.
Also, what's the defense for 5.56 as viable for self defense? I mean, sure, in as much as it's a bullet, it'll probably stop someone trying to attack you, but then so would any other bullet.
5.56 is not really more or less viable for self defense. It depends on the person. It will give you some penetration but at the same time it gives you penetration. Meaning you are more likely to shoot through your backstop into whatever is on the other side. You also might also get over-penetration of your target in close range situations. That said, its the most common round for semi-auto rifles in the US i believe and has low kick, helping you keep rounds are target with less effort or skill.
Well, watch it to the end...
5.56/.223 has limited overpenetration and low recoil
...
so I'm new here, but I found this.
I don't really know what to say.
Given its small profile and high velocity, I would think overpenetration would be quite common. Am I missing something?
I do understand that low recoil is one of the biggest benefits.
I'm not sure I'd want to risk it, given how you'd grip it. It seems to me like it'd transfer the forces through your wrist exactly how you don't want it to.
I'm not convinced the gun actually exists.
