Actual reason why AR15 rifles should be banned

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is real folks and is an actual picture from an errant AR15 round fired into the air by a right wing racist Trumplian racist white supremacist hater, not a picture of Hussein Obama's booty after a night at the bath house.

Nope. It's a high powdered rifle.

I always hated getting that powder all over me while shooting. Does anyone know where I can get a low powdered rifle?

What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns
They weren’t the first mass-shooting victims the Florida radiologist saw—but their wounds were radically different.

Routine handgun injuries leave entry and exit wounds and linear tracks through the victim’s body that are roughly the size of the bullet. If the bullet does not directly hit something crucial like the heart or the aorta, and the victim does not bleed to death before being transported to our care at the trauma center, chances are that we can save him. The bullets fired by an AR-15 are different: They travel at a higher velocity and are far more lethal than routine bullets fired from a handgun. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. A typical AR-15 bullet leaves the barrel traveling almost three times faster than—and imparting more than three times the energy of—a typical 9mm bullet from a handgun. An AR-15 rifle outfitted with a magazine with 50 rounds allows many more lethal bullets to be delivered quickly without reloading.

I have seen a handful of AR-15 injuries in my career. Years ago I saw one from a man shot in the back by a SWAT team. The injury along the path of the bullet from an AR-15 is vastly different from a low-velocity handgun injury. The bullet from an AR-15 passes through the body like a cigarette boat traveling at maximum speed through a tiny canal. The tissue next to the bullet is elastic—moving away from the bullet like waves of water displaced by the boat—and then returns and settles back. This process is called cavitation; it leaves the displaced tissue damaged or killed. The high-velocity bullet causes a swath of tissue damage that extends several inches from its path. It does not have to actually hit an artery to damage it and cause catastrophic bleeding. Exit wounds can be the size of an orange.

With an AR-15, the shooter does not have to be particularly accurate. The victim does not have to be unlucky. If a victim takes a direct hit to the liver from an AR-15, the damage is far graver than that of a simple handgun-shot injury. Handgun injuries to the liver are generally survivable unless the bullet hits the main blood supply to the liver. An AR-15 bullet wound to the middle of the liver would cause so much bleeding that the patient would likely never make it to the trauma center to receive our care.

noooooooooooo..... i don't.... but you might. an AR15 is high velocity & is not a weapon for hunting, except humans. ronny reagan banned them AND the creator of that rifle even said that civilians shouldn't own one. btw, douche-no one wants to take away your 2nd amendment rights & i have firearms in my home.

As usual your response makes no sense.

You are a Texican and the photo is from Guatemala..And AR-15's are shit just like the M-16.

What does that have to do with anything? The bullet as stated was fired upwards and reached the Garmin line before trajecting back down to strike in Central America.

. not with a .227 bullet.

Whats a .227?

A little larger than a .223

Yeah?
So is .228.

Which part of the AR-15 do you think is responsible for that?
The flash suppressor?
The folding stock?
The rail accessory system?
The fore grip?
The color?

Whats a .227?

A little larger than a .223

a .223 exit wound.

They do like to tumble..

What does that have to do with anything? The bullet as stated was fired upwards and reached the Garmin line before trajecting back down to strike in Central America.

. not with a .227 bullet.

The only time they tumble is when they reach the end of their effective range and lose velocity and spin.
That was more common in the early models of the M16 until they upped the rifling from 1-12 to 1-16.
However the added spin could cause the round to disintegrate due to centrifugal force. This required a newly designed round that could hold up to the additional spin.
