Dumb *** people who think that those wanting gun control believe that gun control will eliminate shootings.
Literally no one thinks gun control will eliminate shootings.

The hope is to decrease them.

Following that logic we shouldn't penalise anything. Let's allow murder, it happens every day anyway.. Also drugs provide pleasure and are highly addictive which stimulates people to get them. I don't think you can say the same about guns.

I don't know, I polish my stock every day. Rub my barrel. And my wife likes to finger her trigger. It's pretty addictive.

Interesting.

Interesting.

They are discussing the ammunition, nothing specific about the gun.

It was believed that for military purposes your needed a larger, heavier projectile. The .223 was considered not powerful enough for military purposes.

The pictured text is very definitely referring to "a .22 caliber rifle being offered for military purposes", as well as the ammunition.

No it’s not. Although they mention ammunition the title and the article are specifically about the gun. Try reading the article again.

My six year old just had to tell me about her “lockdown” training today. What walls to hide behind, locking the door, not making any sound, how to stand on the toilet if you’re in the bathroom, how to identify cops as opposed to shooters, rally points...what a sick ****ing world we are in.

I'm very familiar with the introduction of what eventually is called the M-16 in the military and why people were hesitant about it. It is a gun designed around the .223 cal/5.56mm round. That article is asking the question of if that round is a good choice for military service, it is a smaller, lighter round that fires at a higher velocity, has a flatter trajectory and is less prone to wind. But it can't shoot through a tree like the AK-47's 7.62x45 round can. It is less effective against armor. It was a big change to base military ammunition on such a small calibre round (they're calling it .22 centerfire in the article, today it is referred to as .223cal or 5.56mm).

The M-16 is a military rifle that fires in full auto. The current AR-15 is a semi-auto rifle based on that design. The article calls it an AR-15 because that's what Armalite called it at the time. When the military picked it up they named it the M-16. When it was re-introduced some time later as a semi-auto rifle they used the original name AR-15.

This stuff makes me sick to my stomach and glad I don't have kids. Hard to imagine this stuff isn't going to have long lasting effects on future generations.

For what it’s worth, this daughter is intellectually advanced and she showed no fear of this. She understood what she was saying. She talked about “bad guys” (note it wasn’t bad people, be better men) shooting her or kidnapping her. Those teaching it placed considerable time and thought into this. Kudos for that.

But even with the care, general love and intense thought placed into this it will have a real affect on our children.
