"Impact" between the two cartridges...probably why our military chose the AR-15 platform/ammunition over the .22 LR...

Make America Safer...Ban Assault Weapons and their ammunition.

    - You're focused on the means rather than the motive. - iairishcheeks - 7:46am 8/30/25
      - There's a reason why our military chose the AR-15 and its ammunition...more efficient killing and - TyroneIrish - 1:34pm 8/30/25
        Actually it was for lighter weight, less recoil and higher mag capacity. - iairishcheeks - 2:01pm 8/30/25

        Are you saying you'd be happy to have children killed by 22LR? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:16pm 8/30/25
        Of course not...but the likelihood of bolt action .22s being used in mass shootings is remote. Let's - TyroneIrish - 6:56pm 8/30/25
    - Why do you think we need .22LR bolt action guns? - NedoftheHill - 6:03am 8/30/25
      - Your first question... - TyroneIrish - 11:06am 8/30/25
        You intend to replace the 2nd Amendment with a "sporting right" amendment? - NedoftheHill - 3:54pm 8/30/25
        See Justice Warren Burger speak about the purpose of the 2nd Amendment…I.e. it only deals with - TyroneIrish - 4:22pm 8/30/25
        
        You realize that a skilled shooter can kill a person at 1000 yds with a ".30 type" bolt action rifle - iairishcheeks - 11:42am 8/30/25
        Yes, but far fewer would be killed..."Perfect is the Enemy of Good"...let's do all we can to Reduce - TyroneIrish - 12:18pm 8/30/25
        You're advocating for 22 LR, the 2nd most common firearm traced to crime. - iairishcheeks - 12:26pm 8/30/25
        I'm advocating for "Bolt Action" .22's...you know as well as I do that the casualty/death rate would - TyroneIrish - 12:33pm 8/30/25
        No it wouldn't, we should be happy the Trans-Nut didn't realize 5.56 doesn't go through church pews. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 12:35pm 8/30/25
        A bolt action .22 LR wouldn't either and the number of rounds fired would be a whole lot less, thus - TyroneIrish - 1:50pm 8/30/25
        And what would the Molotov cocktail assembled at the nearest gas station do? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:03pm 8/30/25
        Why ignore the very real threat that's already in play...Assault Rifles? [NT] - TyroneIrish - 2:26pm 8/30/25
      - Your second question first... - TyroneIrish - 10:46am 8/30/25
        You think the 2nd Amendment is the only one of the Bill of rights assuring state authority/power? - NedoftheHill - 3:59pm 8/30/25
        How about responding to Justice Warren Burger’s statement on the 2nd Amendment…you know, - TyroneIrish - 4:12pm 8/30/25

        Australia, Canada, UK...and many other Democracies have strict gun laws that ban Assault Rifles. - TyroneIrish - 11:13am 8/30/25
