Dumb things I've sadly read tonight...

Well a "friend" of mine made a post about the recent shootings (pro 2a leaning) and the topic was mostly assault rifles, and specifically .223rem/5.56 And some "gun guy" had to jump on about how and I quote ".223/5.56mm Bullets are inferior to modern defensive 9mm cartridge"

I am going to blur out the names and what not for anonymity but I will color code them as follows.

OP's name - purple
Main dumb dumb - red
Another dumb dumb - yellow
Green - me
A random name and random name he tagged - black

I was tired while driving so flipped over to the 'poor me' channel as it always gets my blood pressure up and I end up yelling at the radio, anyway some callers are calling in and one (supposed)" vet" is saying how he used an AR15 in Viet Nam and no one needs them here! A few minutes later another "expert" comes on saying that the GVMT could ban and confiscate all AR's and give them to the army to use , and then goes on to explain why the call the 556, apparently it's because the adopted in May of 1956 , and here all this time I thought it was because it is 5.56 Millimeters! I feel so stupid (NOT)

Shes mildly attractive so "thristy" dudes flock to her And now she is trying to be super conservative and so the big macho military florda boys where she lives are all about trying to sound smart

And while she has come a long way in learning about guns and what not from nothing, you have these idiots trying to "teach" her and her "all about learning guns" will listen to anything with a swinging dick that's pro gun

Ask them to quantify their BS.

They will have to either admit they are making things up, or pull data out of their ass, which you can then ask for sources on.

Or link to some YouTube ballistics gel video showing what 9mm and .223 does in slow mo and ask which she think looks nastier.

Yea I decided to messanger her vs try and get my point over the other idiots

So ok the good news is she messaged me back

Here her response



She went on asking if I study ballistics. I told her no but I try to understand the best I can especially for 9mm handgun ammo (so I can have the best I can when carrying) 5.56/7.62 ammo for home defense reasons and what ever ammo I am planning to hunt with for ethical reasons.

She responded



So I tried to pass on some decent resources and and some understanding that ballistic gel isnt meant to represent a human.body but more be a way to take a variable out of the equation when comparing and testing ammo and a way to get repeatable data
