"But the terrified left doesn't want to hear that fact noooo they prefer to listen to their bs masters" QT
?!
This lead post is a fount of abysmal ignorance, and feebly supported agenda.
a) Lethality in terminal ballistics is quantified in foot pounds of energy delivered to target.
b) I welcome anyone to quote anyone from the ostensible "terrified left" (the precise term used in the lead) asserting the AR-15 delivers more foot pounds to target than the most powerful shotgun, or perhaps more precisely, smooth-bore long gun.
c) The
horrified left shares the conservative alarm at the carnage being perpetrated in our government schools.
d) The issue with the AR-15, the similar Bushmaster, and other high capacity assault STYLE carbines is NOT the foot pounds they deliver per round.
Instead it's the number of rounds it can deliver quickly.
And to prove my counterpoint I challenge Nugent or QT to a 60 second firing range contest.
The shotgunner can take take a shotgun like that depicted in the still graphic in the lead,
and I'll take an AR-15, and in a simultaneous 60 second firing match, I'll allow the shotgunner to fire as many times as s/he can.
And during those same 60 seconds, I'll fire the AR-15 as often as I can. Both gunners will be allowed to reload during the exhibition.
When the minute has fully elapsed, we can count the number of shots fired from each weapon.
And my wager:
In those 60 seconds I will with the AR-15 fire twice the number of rounds fired by the shotgun; and perhaps more than twice.
This topic is absurd.
Note:
My offer ONLY stands if the shotgunner covers all my expenses, including travel, hotel, meals, and all other costs.
