The M4 is the military version of the AR-15. That is one of the reasons why it is so popular, the M4 (and its variants) being the standard weapon of the U.S. armed forces. It isn't designed to rip human flesh apart anymore than any other rifle, being an MCX, AUG, ACR, UZI, etc. which all can shoot the same 5.56 round as the AR-15 clones.

I am no gun expert by any means, but the "demonizing" of AR-15's is misguided. It just happens to be the most popular rifle in the U.S. because the U.S. armed forces use it, there are a gazillion parts you can get for them to personalize them, and are more readily available because they are so popular. But if you remove the AR-15 clones of the market, it doesn't mean someone who wants to shoot people can't get other rifles that would do as good a job, and the supply/demand for those will go up accordingly.

Don't get me wrong, though, I am not saying that we shouldn't do anything, but we need to be informed to take an effective course of action.

Very few people are murdered by rifles .
There are about 500 deaths per year in the usa from rifles of all linds. When you do the math and subtract accidental shootings and suicides you cut that number in half and then sub the non ar 15 deaths .
About 1700 a year die from knives and another 1700 are beat to death ising hands and feet .

Man, it looks like you’re reading off the talking points memo from ten years ago.

No one buys this bullshirt any more. Head over to Fox to get the most recently focus-grouped bullshirt.

The gun is the common denominator. Did you forget the context of your comment?

The stupid argument that guns don’t kill people is not one adults should be making, and we’re past entertaining people who try to make it.

nope crazy peoplev the gun didnt make them do it their demented mind did . You think they went out and got a GUN and it made them want to kill . common sense man

Like I said, we’re past arguing about simple minded BS.

The police weren’t too afraid to go in because there was a crazy person inside.

It sounds like you can't even comprehend what your own posts say. No-one is going to play stupid games with you, especially not now and not in this thread. Give it a rest already.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler to skip national anthem 'going forward' after Uvalde tragedy: 'Home of the brave?'

Giants manager Gabe Kapler penned a lengthy blog post Friday explaining his decision not to stand for the national anthem "going forward" after the Texas school shooting.

www.foxnews.com

"San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler will no longer stand with his team for the national anthem until he "feels better about the direction of our country" in the wake of the Texas school shooting on Tuesday that left 19 students and two teachers dead.

Kapler spoke with reporters ahead of Friday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds to explain his choice not to participate in the national anthem, a decision he first revealed in a lengthy blog post earlier in the day. "

Gag! I watched 10 seconds of that Huffpo video of that, yuck, spit, pew!

I needed an ear wash. Fortunately I knew where an ear wash was. Here it is in case anyone else needs it after that:

If you promise to never post again, I'll take this bet. You can't prove Democrats are to blame for inflation or high gas prices. Some of the biggest drivers for both are international: European sanctions, China's zero covid policy causing more global supply chain issues.

I feel like a lot of boomers have American exceptionalism so baked into their ideology. They forget it's a world economy now.

In fact, one of the most interesting things happening right now is the break down of globalization. We could/should probably make a thread discussing the idea that capitalism will eventually turn authoritarian countries like Russia, and China into democracies is wrong. That the entire west is rethinking this, and turning their back on Russia, and China. You hear terms like "near-shoring", and "friend-shoring" as this idea takes hold in the business community.

So please stop posting.

Stand down, you cannot prove anything you said in the post I quoted. And you immediately changed the goalposts with this post replying to me. So quit with the schoolyard bully tactics. You don’t get to say who posts here.

You shouldn’t spout such nonsense. The people on this forum are too smart and well-read to fall for any of it.
