If you think the .223 military round can be compared to a .22 rim fire then you know very little about the topic. There's no .22 rim fire rifle made that has equal fire power.
I can provide a couple of explanations for why Canada is banning assault weapons.
1. They have the capacity to outgun the police.
2. The physical appearance of the weapon has appeal to the wrong kind of people. The perception is that people with AR type weapons who shoot at human silouette targets are not serious hunters.
I'm suggesting that those two reasons are among perhaps some other reasons for why Canada is banning them.
It's the popular perception of the voters who went so strongly for Trudeau in the 905 areas, and allowed him to beat O'Toole.
So there you go! An honest opinion from the horse's mouth. Can you keep the discussion civil?
Moron....they aren't used in any crimes, even here in the U.S........you are a fucking idiot.......
The guy who wears black face, trudeau, won because Canada is a country of welfare recipients......
There is only one mass public shooting where the rifle had an advantage in the shooting, and that was Las Vegas, where the range was over 200 yards......but he was also firing into a tightly packed crowd of over 22,000 people, at night, from a concealed and fortified position.......with his initial shooting masked by the concert.
And if the crowd hadn't been trapped in that concert arena, he wouldn't have been able to kill as many since they would have run away or found cover.....since shooting at moving targets at hundreds of yards is almost impossible for all but expertly trained shooters...
At the range of every other mass public shooting a rifle has no advantage over pistols or shotguns.......
again.....at the range of a mass public shooting the AR-15 is no better than a pump action shotgun....as are 2 handguns......you idiot...
Boulder....used an AR-15 with magazines that held more than 10 bullets.. 10 killed.....
Virginia Tech...2 pistols, one with 10 round magazine..... 32 killed.
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 2 pistols?
Boulder...10 killed with an AR-15 rifle and regular magazines ( holding more than 10 bullets)
Luby's Cafe..... 2 pistols....24 killed.
Do you see that the 2 pistols killed more than the AR-15?
Do you know what the difference was between these attacks?
The cops immediately responded and shot at the attacker in boulder, causing him to stop shooting unarmed victims, and then he shot himself....
Virginia Tech and Luby's Cafe, the police didn't get there, and at Luby's Cafe, the one woman who could have shot and killed the attacker had to leave her gun in her car because of stupid gun free zone laws....
Boulder AR-15 with magazines that hold more than 10 bullets...you know, regular magazines..... 10 killed...
Kerch, Russia, Polytechnic school shooting.... 5 shot, pump action shotgun...which means it had 5 shells which is 5 less than 10........20 killed 70 wounded.
Kazan, Russia school shooting....semi-automatic shotgun...9 killed, 23 injured
Do you see that the AR-15 killed fewer people than the 5 shot, pump action shotgun?
The difference? The Russian police station was 100 yards away from the school...and it still took them 10 minutes to get to the school...and he managed to kill 20 people with a 5 shot, pump action shotgun....10 more than the Boulder shooter with a rifle and a regular sized magazine...
So again.......in a mass public shooting the number of bullets in the gun magazine doesn't mean anything......the gun doesn't make the difference....
What makes the difference?
1) if the target is a gun free zone, more people get killed.
2) if someone starts shooting at the attacker, they commit suicide, or surrender, or runaway....
That is what you don't understand and don't care to understand since you simply have a mental issue when it comes to the AR-15 rifle.
That rifle had no special advantage in a mass public shooting.
We have 20 million AR-15 rifles in private hands in the U.S....
They were used for mass public shootings 4 times in 2019 killing a grand total of
41
Deer kill 200 people a year.
Ladders kill 300 people a year.
Lawn mowers kill between 90-100 people a year...
20 million, and growing, AR-15 rifles in private hands....they were used 4 times in mass public shootings...
Killed in each shooting?
