If bullets from the AR-15 style rifles are so lethal, why did the United States Army just adopt a new, larger caliber rifle, citing poor performance from their 5.56mm rifles as their primary motivation?
The good doctor doesn't tell you that any projectile traveling more than 2000 feet per second will have gross displacement of tissue. The most common round fired from an AR 15 is the 5.56 mm or .223 Remington and are some of the smallest rounds in the rifle catagory used for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense. You could compare ballistics and damage between the AR 15 and Ol Joe Biden's 12 ga. shotgun with buckshot and see which produces more damage. It won't be the AR 15. Then you might want to argue that the AR has a hihmgher round capacity. Well with a little practice you can reload a shotgun pretty fast. Now shotguns has extended tubular magazines and the bull pups hold even more rounds. Oh well, back to a rock and sling.
Ignore the politics. The information is wrong. An ar-15 can be chambered in many different calibers such as 9mm and .223, while it will have faster muzzle velocities which does make it more lethal, this shouldn’t be left out
You know ar-15 means the platform right? I’m not exactly a gun nut but come on. An ar-15 chambered in 9mm is much less lethal than one chambered in 5.56
I watch plenty of AR‘s fired at that jail and I never seen one dip down so far whoever is going to do something crazy like that they buy the AR because life is what is popular right now guns like that were banned for so long from Bill Clinton Who wants to ban out lift it social media was already big and getting bigger so look at the world now and back then look how many more people are in the United States how many more problems there are in United States look at people who really need help they have psychological problems and their parents don’t try to help them or recognize any of that and I are there is people in Baltimore like are getting killed every day and Baltimore Chicago are really bad cities do you want me these kids are on the Internet they bully want another they’re fighting over females they’re jealous over what another kid has and they don’t if someone’s girlfriend used to date the other guy they fight over everything I’m is it what are you gonna do like there’s some crazy people out there and it’s just a crazy world right now and it’s going to get more crazier Crazier
Anti2A people complain about US citizens having “assault weapons” and “weapons of war” while at the same time they pat themselves on the back for sending “assault weapons” and “weapons of war” to Ukrainian citizens. Makes sense . Ukrainians never thought they would need them either.
The left keeps telling me there’s racist, right-wing, Nazi, KKK, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, women hating, insurrectionist, domestic terrorists everywhere and the left also wants to disarm me. Doesn’t add up. Shouldn’t I be armed to defend myself from a threat they tell me is everywhere? And when the left wants to also defund the police. What’s your plan when the police are minutes away!? Gun control is racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+++, classist oppression.
This story is full of false information. Hunting rifles are more powerful than AR15s. ARs dont 'blow holes' in people and almost everyone that uses them target shoots or hunts with them. Millions have been made. This doc is obviously anti-gun.
We hunt with rifles because the velocity on all callibers is high enough to transfer a tremendous amount of energy. Bigger casing means more gunpowder means more expansive gas. Add a longer explosive chamber aka barrel and your moving that projectile faster down range. Of course it would do the same thing in a criminals hands. What an odd report.

A fucking 9mm HP will destroy your insides as well, also the evil AR HIGH POWER ROUNDS are definitely not "high power."
We don't have a gun problem in America we have a media problem and that is it.
The AR-15 is a medium power round not high power

Sir guns don’t hurt people people do a gun if taken care of properly can’t go off and hurt someone only people have the ability to hurt people

Sounds like a great way to stop bad guys. Oh wait that's the point.

We’re not seeing reasons for gun control. We’re seeing reasons to carry.
