an AR-15... albeit not fully automatic ( & I didn't say it was) can carry banana clips or drums with multiple rounds that are designed to fan spray & obliterate as many people as possible in as short amt of time as possible.
ya... like I said. assault rifle.
You poor child, thanks for the laugh. Bye!
so, that's rwnutter talk for ' I ain't got nuthin to refute'.

The AR-15 and the M-16 are identical in shape, style and operation, except for a key distinction: the M-16 is only automatic, said Frank Proctor, a performance shooting and law enforcement training weapons expert in Alabama. Because the two rifles are so similar, the AR-15 is essentially the semi-automatic version—one pull of the trigger, one shot—of the M-16, Proctor said.
Automatic AR-15s do exist, but the vast majority of Americans cannot buy them.
What are the AR-15’s technical specifications?
The weapon’s caliber is .223, meaning the bullet is .223 inches in diameter. While that is smaller than some rifles, it is comparable to an M-16’s caliber—long the U.S. military’s most popular rifle.
The weapon’s projectile velocity—how fast the bullet travels—is around 3,200 feet per second.
Why is the weapon popular with gun owners?
AR-15s are highly customizable, Proctor said. For all AR-15s, the shooting action is standard, “but it can go from there, however you want to accessorize it,” he said. He also said the gun is favored because of its low recoil.
While many AR-15s can be purchased for less than $1,000, sights, grips, stocks and other accessories can cost hundreds of dollars. This 100-round drum magazine costs $116.99.
It is also normally easy to purchase. For example, suspected Orlando shooter Omar Mateen did not have to wait to buy the weapon that slaughtered 50 people, as there is no waiting period for the AR-15 in Florida.[...]
What to Know About the Gun Used in the Orlando Shooting
ba-bye tiger dude.
the M-16 is only automatic, said Frank Proctor, a performance shooting and law enforcement training weapons expert in Alabama.
Your expert ain't much of an expert, the M-16 is selectable, it can be fired semi or full auto, it is not ONLY automatic. The M-16A2 fires three round bursts in the auto mode, it's more accurate and doesn't waste so much ammo.
'my' expert? lol... 1st of all, it matters not about the M-16. nobody is disputing the weapon that IS banned.
this is about the AR-15.
which is an assault rifle by the very definition of its capabilities independent of it's similarity or lack of to the M-16.
adam lanza got off 150 rounds in 5 minutes. that was one shot every 2 seconds.
Yeah, cause they're scary looking and black, would you be more comfortable with one in pink?

Maybe you won't find this one so scary, poor thing.
i'm thinking you would still wet yourself if you were on the receiving end of that though, wouldn't you, little kitty?
