    Does anyone -really- need 5.56 assault bullets or full semi-automatic weapons?

    No, no one needs those things. That's why I always use soft point bullets in my 5.56 loads and I always keep my defense rifle on semi-semi-automatic!

    I was on the edge of getting very angry. This post is an emotional [redacted]-block.

    One of my favorite videos. It encapsulates leftist gun ideas/knowledge so well.

    Actually the AR-15/M-16 that is chambered for the 5.56X45mm (Remington .223) isn't an assault cartridge but a varmint cartridge based upon the Remington .222 which was designed for varmint hunting (groundhogs, squirrels, etc)

    The 5.56X45 was a hunting cartridge and the AR-15 and M-16's were not called assault rifles by the U.S. military until 1980 when the liberals and MSM coined the phrase "assault weapon."

    Before 1980 the U.S. Army and Marine Corps never referred to the M-16 as an assault rifle because it was chambered for a high power varmint cartridge. Before liberals politicized the AR-15's and other AR's there were only two rifles that met the military definition of being an assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr-44 and the AK-47.

    When Armalite developed the AR-15 and after Colt bought the rights to manufacture the AR-15 and the M-16 the AR-15 was sold in sporting goods stores as a hunting rifle years before the U.S. military was forced in protest to adopt the little M-16 peashooter.

    The anti-gun left, as a whole, is almost completely ignorant of the particulars of firearms.

    It seemed like obvious satire to me.

    So you think the OP is trolling? I thought you might expand on how you see it that way?

    You may be right but I still find it amusing.

    I wasn't debating its humor or lack thereof.
