ABC News Accidently Admits AR-15s Aren't as Dangerous as the Dems Pretend They Are

pjmedia.com

Let’s take a look at ways in which more Americans die every year than by AR-15s used in mass shootings:

• Twenty-eight people are killed every year by lightning.
• Roughly 2,167 Americans die annually from constipation.
• On average, 951 people are killed by their lawnmowers while another 4,193 are killed by farm tractors and other agricultural equipment.
• Murderous toasters kill 45 people per year.
• Eleven teenagers die every day while texting and driving.
• An estimated 40 people die every year while skateboarding.
• Roughly 10,206 are accidentally strangled to death while they sleep, and for those who survive the night, another 10,386 will die every year falling out of bed.
• As per the FBI, rifles of every variation — including but not limited to the scary AR-15 — killed 215 Americans in 2019. But another 1,533 were killed by knives, and 651 people were beaten to death by hands, fists, feet, etc.
• In 2015, 5,051 people choked to death while eating.
• Americans average 62 deaths per year by bees, wasps, and hornets.

While on average 22.6 die a year because someone used an AR15

9mm round vs. .556 round. Big difference on what happens to bone and/or human organs.

"It’s possible to argue about everything when it comes to the politics of guns---including about the definition of “assault rifle” itself---but it’s harder to argue about physics. So let's consider the physics of an AR-15.
A bullet with more energy can do more damage. Its total kinetic energy is equal to one-half the mass of the bullet times its velocity squared. The bullet from a handgun is---as absurd as it may sound---slow compared to that from an AR-15. It can be stopped by the thick bone of the upper leg. It might pass through the body, only to become lodged in skin, which is surprisingly elastic.
The bullet from an AR-15 does an entirely different kind of violence to the human body. It’s relatively small, but it leaves the muzzle at three times the speed of a handgun bullet. It has so much energy that it can disintegrate three inches of leg bone. “It would just turn it to dust,” says Donald Jenkins, a trauma surgeon at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. If it hits the liver, “the liver looks like a jello mold that’s been dropped on the floor.” And the exit wound can be a nasty, jagged hole the size of an orange"

It's a dangerous round and a favorite of mass shooters.

What an AR-15 Can Do to the Human Body

When a patient is shot by an AR-15, it "looks like a grenade went off in there."

Lets be honest about the AR-15

There is no finer weapon for slaughtering six year olds, for shooting up a grocery store or school.

That is why it is the weapon of choice for those wanting to engage in mass slaughter

And soldiers have been complaining about the 556 ineffectiveness in battle since it was introduced.

The Army and Marines are switching to a SiG Sauer rifle with a .277 Fury.

I support extreme sentencing for anyone caught with an unlicensed gun in high crime areas.
And want to return to police using stop and frisk methods in those same high crime areas.
You want to lower gun deaths? Then you support the tools law enforcement needs to make it happen.

That's pretty insulting to AR-15's. Their entire purpose for existence is to be dangerous, and you're telling them they're not

What does your post have anything to do with the OP?

LMAO! The thread is titled:

ABC news admits AR15s not as dangerous as Dems make them out to be​

Are you aware the 5.56/223 is the round for the M16 or semi automatic AR 15 style weapons?

Sure you should be in this discussion?

And the Army is using a Sig P320 M17. Are you trying to make excuses for what is dangerous for civilian mass shootings?

I am trying to say the AR 15 round ain’t what you gunophobes claim it is.

I'm a "gunophobe"

Now you're talking out your ass.

Maybe you shouldn't be in the conversation.

I see you focused on the wrong aspect of the sentence.
You posted how powerful the 556 and the AR 15 are. I countered and then you asked what it had to do with the OP.

younsir, with respect, are talking out of your ass. Now stop fucking up the discussion with asinine Bs.

You pussy. Can't get your way.

I am not trying to get my way. I a, trying to have an informative discussion on this thread. For some reason you wish to interfere. The OP creator had no issue with the post YOU got all whiny about.

Cry cry cry. You make zero sense. Hey, maybe the mass shooters should move up to an AR-10. Would that make you feel better? Geez. What a loon.

Lmao!

Try again, ignorant one. If the 556 is such an all powerful round explain why the military is switching not only rifles but the ammunition as well?
