I have no idea if that particular cartridge is suitable for use in an AR-15, much less "better" or "worse" than other available ammo.  What I do know is that it is possible to legally purchase ammo for the AR-15 that will inflict immense damage on the human body, and because of the gun's capabilities, it can do so to many humans in a short amount of time.

Why are you such a disingenuous gun freak?

Come on, you are the expert.  It's only the second most popular AR 15 round, and was built specifically for the platform.  You missed that day in AR school?

Honestly? I think the only chance that something changes is if there are more of them or they continue to push the envelope of atrocities that catch headlines. 

So when 2-3 people carrying ARs end up with a triple-digit body count, then something will change. 

Expand  

yea so honestly, i don't think the body count matters, to the nra crowd, the 2nd amendment junkies.

any evidence of them ever giving a fuck about any of this?

it's always deflection. 

and i do think a larger-scale terrorist type of attack is inevitable, and it also seems inevitable that very little would be done in the aftermath. 

there's no evidence to indicate a more positive scenario.

the R's are armed to the gills. make no mistake, they don't fucking care if another radical R kills hundreds.

it's whatever to them, thoughts & prayers, but don't take my guns.

i wish there were a proper proposal, anything, but nah i think we're quite fucked here.

No.  You can quit stepping on my snake anytime.  I believe the courts and legislature would obviously agree.

Answer this:  if you were wanting to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time (and believe me, I suspect you've thought about it), would an AR-15 firing ammo selected for maximum tissue damage be a bad choice, a good choice, or the best choice for the job?

My point is that isn't anything special. There's hundreds of similar ballistic gel videos for dozens of calibers and hundreds of different types of bullets.  There are many that make a 5.56 looks like a fucking cake walk.  

Yeah, I get it.  I've got a bunch of both. 

Ok.  I don't have any issue with that.  Do semiauto pistols and shotguns fall into this?

Expand  

They're not weapons of choice in most of these attacks. You're also forced to stop and fumble around for additional shells after 4-5 shots when it comes to a shotgun.

Yeah, what you’re speaking to is a particularly deadly affliction modern American society suffers from: a complete lack of empathy. All problems, no matter how horrific, aren’t actually problems until they affect YOU. It’s fucking sick, but there we are.
Nothing will change until a legislature is shot up (and at this rate, it’s just a matter of time). And then, maybe. They’ll be treated as isolated apostates by the rest of the GQP even then.

Expand  

nothing will change even if legislators are shot regularly .  Only when NRA conventions are regularly massacred, then we MIGHT have a change, maybe not. Then proceed to the next level of eliminating everyone with a gun! Then proceed to every pickup truck owner.

The shooting deaths of six people near Chicago during a July 4th parade on Monday was the most high-profile attack, but others in California, Wisconsin and Florida were also deadly.

Authorities in Wisconsin said that a shooting in Kenosha killed one person and injured several others on Monday night.

Police say they responded to a home in the state's fourth-largest city and found five people who'd been shot. One died at the scene and the others were hospitalized. Two were seriously hurt.

It wasn't immediately known what led to the gunfire and police said the shooter is still at large.

In New York City, authorities said that two people were killed in a shooting near a deli in Brooklyn. A third victim was reported to be in critical condition.

New York City police said the shooting was just one of almost a dozen across the city on Monday night that killed three people and wounded many others.

In Philadelphia, two police officers were wounded by gunfire during July 4th celebrations on Monday, officials said.

jesus tittyfucking christ this is such insufferable difference making without distinction. The mini14 absolutely IS a comparable weapon, but for some reason it doesn't tickle the fancy of the tacticool chud like an AR does.

I have an AR in my safe, I built it six or seven years ago and it's a fantastically modular platform. I bought a $50 hunk of aluminum (the lower reciever) and then I can make that receiver into just about fucking anything - even a .50 cal (beowulf lulz) if I was feeling chudly enough. It's the platform that is ubiquitous, and makes meaningful ballistics tracing extremely difficult. 

It also makes it a slippery snake to try and have a meaningful conversation about - even moreso if the opposing party in the dialogue isn't acting in good faith. You don't think there's a single thing we have to say that's important or meaningful - so you've committed to finding every tiny nitpick to justify your own intellectual dishonesty and laziness.

Congrats on being the model republican!

I'd like to start off with a hearty fuck you.  I think it would be the the same answer for any gun you'd want to use, down to a pellet gun.  You pick your bullet for what you are trying to accomplish.  Ballistic tip, soft point, or wad cutters.  It matters little with pretty much any centerfire rifle.  You are going to get fucked up with pawpaws 30-30, just the same.

I understand that.  They are also in closets of literally hundreds of millions of Americans, even the "not gun people".  But if semi auto is the issue, or magazine capacity is the issue, where are you drawing the line?  I asked the question because I'm curious.  Is an A400 ok but any double stack 9mm not?  Curiosity on your thoughts is all.

I'd be OK with coming up with an agreement that lasts xx years.  Ban some shit, make some shit like suppressors more easily obtainable, and add some common sense laws (a bunch of them).  You are going to have to do a lot better than naming a specific rifle platform that hosts 15 calibers and pointing to it as the issue, though, with the option to just ban the next one when you figured out you got that wrong.  Banning a new host of guns every few years because you cant figure out that it's who's behind the trigger that is the problem is not going to work.

So they IDd the murderer so quickly by a rapid FB/ATF whatever trace of his weapon. Seems to me a central database of said weapons would really help. The IL forced database worked wonders here.

Also SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT WHAT BULLET IS 'BETTER'. No one cares the bullet type used to mow down a group of people. Especially the Uvalde children who were physically unidentifiable due to a "non powerful" AR 15.

Or somebody livestreams killing a bunch of little kids and the video makes it onto the mainstream internet, kind of an Emmett Till open casket kind of moment.  There was a reason why one of the Uvalde parents wanted the world to see photos of her dead kid   She knew the impact it would have.

A few more Uvaldes may change things.  I noticed a slight shift in the tone/attitude of several relatives after Uvalde. They were uncomfortable in a way I hadn’t seen them before, even as the Republican politicians they support rushed out to defend guns on social media.  And for whatever reason, more Republican politicians seem to not care about reading the room before rushing out and defending guns, and it’s not helping.

You asked about bullets, and now firing rate?  Well, the AR would be more efficient in firing more rounds than my example of pawpaws hunting rifle.  

However, its not any more or less different than a mini-14/30, AR10, SCAR, Garand, .30 carbine, or any of the dozen bullpups on the market.  Many of those which have been in the publics hands for the last 80 years.   But I believe you know that.
