The Obama administration is considering a strange new strategy. Since taking our guns isn’t working out so well (that 2nd Amendment thing), the President figures he’ll just take our ammo. If we don’t have the ammo, we can’t use the guns, right?
Interestingly, the ammo President Obama is currently seeking to ban is the popular 5.56mm, fired by the infamous AR-15. The AR-15 is the “scary looking” semi-automatic gun often portrayed by the media as an “assault rifle.” Liberals have long been trying to rid us of this weapon, often citing one of the following 7 myths about AR-15’s:
1. “AR” stands for “assault rifle.” False. The “AR” in AR-15 stands for “ArmaLite Rifle,” so named for the company which developed it in the 1950’s.
2. AR-15’s are machine guns. False. A semi-automatic weapon, the AR fires only one bullet each time the trigger is pulled. You cannot hold the trigger in for a continuous fire as you could with a machine gun or automatic weapon.
3. AR-15’s use big bullets and cause more damage than other guns like shotguns. False. Shotguns are far more deadly at close range than a AR-15.
4. AR-15’s aren’t used for hunting. False. Actually, an AR-15 makes an excellent choice for hunting a variety of game, both large and small.
5. AR-15’s are the most popular rifle in America. False. The Ruger 10/22 is the most popular semi-automatic rifle in the US according to GunBroker.com.
6. AR-15’s aren’t good for self-defense. False. AR-15’s are among the best firearms options for self-defense.
7. AR-15’s are more deadly than handguns. Even Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Rolling Stone know you’re more likely to be murdered with a handgun than a rifle (AR or otherwise).
Barack plan to buy 5.56 mm ammo has some flaws one assault versions of the AR 15 or M 4 carbine are really shorten M 16 battle rifle cartridges that fit in to longer magazines. Second they are AR 15 clones that using 5.4 mm or even 6.89 mm cartridges they could be ones using 4.5 mm cartridges. Third other guns on the market use NATO %.56 mm cartridges due to their ease of operation. Four AK 47s are more likely to be used by terrorist they require less care and servicing than the AR 15 M 16. However the AR !5 while not as powerful nor as robust does have greater range and accuracy. Five most AR 15s are or should be own by people who are interested in guns and shooting not vigilantes only interested in home protection. Six the United States has 20,000 gun control laws on the books to reduce access to guns for criminals. While proving the second amendment was only for a well regulated militia. They also prove the United States needs to invest more in better in enforcement than invented flawed gun control policy. Seven the AR 15 according to a solder of fortune report was rated a not particularly good big game hunting gun and breaks most hunting regulations. Eight they are airgun and airsoft versions of the AR 15 not to mention ways to avoid gun control laws in the process of getting a AR 15. Nine even liberal prefer trained police with AR 15s to redneck like Joe Biden armed with double barrel shotguns poaching gods little creatures or terrorizing children on Halloween. Joe “I’ll get you rotten kids call me poohy woohy stupid head will you.”
