Well, I guess that you are arguing with the wrong guy, then, because I, and the people I know, are well aware that the reactionary Right is arming themselves to the teeth in anticipating the New World Order black helicopters, and Abrams tank assaults on their homes, which they intend to fight off with .223 rounds from their AR-15s. In order to fulfill the NRA fantasy of brave patriots blasting commies out of the sky, they are perfectly willing so see innocent men, women and children blasted away on a weekly basis by nuts. After all, you have to break some eggs to make omelettes.
I wasn't arguing with you ... You started that ignorance ...
If anything my point would only support the idea that a fight between gun owners and law enforcement wouldn't result in any real winners.
As for the details ... You cannot assume the military would neglect their oath to protect and defend the Constitution just to suit your desired outcome.
Law enforcement cannot be assumed to be any different should the issue come to bear.
If you think my AR-15 is a .223 ... You are poorly mistaken because it is a 7.62 x 39 mm cartridge ... Same as the military uses and for that reason ...
I can put their magazine in my firearm and chamber their rounds ... Which brings us back to the argument at hand.
There are a lot of people that want to describe what they think is and is not acceptable ... And for what reasons, while one thing is certain.
The Founding Fathers had no idea what modern technology could come up with ... But, they were absolutely certain of what the weapons they had could do.
They had just finished overthrowing an oppressive, overreaching and over bearing government (with better resources) using the weapons they had in a revolution.
It would be stupid to suggest they didn't consider that when allowing the People to bear arms.
Edit:
Not mention the .308 round is very accurate and deadly.
Saturday 4:05 PM ... 120 yards ... One shot through the shoulder, heart and lungs ... Nice Buck ... He never even knew I was there.
He was dead when he hit the ground ... He didn't even bleed.
Every deer hunter is at least an amateur sniper also skilled in camouflage, site selection/prep and basic wilderness survival.

It is very important to have a 20 round banana clip when hunting deer. Some of them are very hard to bring down.
