IF you can stomach it, at 7:00 tonight 60 minutes is having a segment on the AR15 and how it affects first responders and the emergency room. Looking forward to seeing a well thought out report both objective and fair.

It will be the same old song and dance that it's overwhelming resources and they've only seen wounds like these in the battlefield and weapons of war shouldn't be allowed to civilians 
oh forgot and that since President Trump continues dividing the country more and more mass shootings will be expected .

I caught part of it , they showed a gelatin block being shot by a 9mm Glock and an AR and compared the difference. Science at its best.

Crap. No .50BMG or 120mm APFSDS rounds into gelatin to illustrate what real weapons of war will do?

Which one did more damage? The cop killing hollow point that opens it's petals like a buzzsaw or the high powered military grade bullet?

Its amazing they had to do a gel test to demonstrate that the rifle bullet will do more than a pistol bullet, They could have just asked.
I wonder why they didn't do a comparison of the AR-15 and say a Ruger Mini 14?
Or compare ballistics of an AR-15 with 14.5 inch barrel with a pinned muzzle device VS. say a Henry Singleshot break open chambered in 5.56 with a 22-inch barrel

What makes the AR-15 style rifle the weapon of choice for mass shooters?
By idiots, for idiots. Prepare to puke the ignorance is so thick.

This right here....
What is an AR-15 round.
Ok let's play the 5.56 game.
How does she know it was fired from an AR pattern rifle, and not say a H&R Handy rifle. Let's look at the ballistics of again an AR pattern rifle with a 14.5in barrel (pinned flash hider or w/e to make it 16in measured) and then the ballistics of say a Henry singleshot with a 22in barrel

They talk about "battlefield wounds" and have some first responders talking about how things have changed and they carry "active killer kits". This despite the segment saying the round and rifle were designed 70 years ago.
It was a fairly boring piece and a bit pointless, mostly saying how much it sucks to get shot by a rifle, which of course it does.

They REALLY love the apples to oranges comparison of a pistol and a rifle. I've had to explain to people that it's nowhere near the same. If you want to compare, they should first compare 9mm pistol to 9mm carbine to show that it's not about caliber, but barrel length, then compare .308 to .223, to show that it's really nothing compared to the standard hunting rifle. But why use logic and common sense when you can just scare people with fake news?

Common sense reporting has Never been their intent and Never will be. As always theses so called informative reports are purely meant to scare the shit out of the ignorant.

Shush, you! I bought a Mini-14 precisely because it's under the radar of most gun grabbers. Don't go giving them ideas!
