    1. .556 is not nearly as powerful as most bolt action hunting .308’s and 30 .06’s . You’re ignorant about firearms

    2. @Marky Mark not to mention they are also somewhat over penetrating,if I was shot by a rifle other than a .22 I’d want it to be .223/.556 just because it will zip straight through lol(I’m a little guy haha)

    3. @TJ True. I bet a shotgun slug could do a lot more damage too. I guess they will try to ban shotguns next 😂. They always lose!

  1. We should never forget our original
    aspiration or our roots.
    If we lose our ability to become emotional
    or feel touched, we also lose our ability
    to be grateful.

  2. I’m sick of all the people dying from Drugs. If we could work hard to make them illegal, I’m just positive the people with issues won’t be dying from ODs anymore.

    1. @Joel Slater because every drug user is an addict? Both are inanimate objects capable of being both used or abused. My willfully owning guns harms no one.
      The comparison to cars is absurd. You don’t have a constitutional right to a car. Can you imagine requiring a license or insurance to vote?
      While we’re talking about it. If making it harder, more expensive, or time consuming to vote or get an abortion is discriminatory (I agree) how is that not true for guns? States with permitting like NY CA MA leave final say up to local law enforcement. Who do you think that’s aimed at?

    2. @Joel Slater That is true. They also prefer their dealers to be hooked. I knew someone who was getting high on his own supply, and as a result he was always several grand in debt to them. They keep resupplying him cause he actually wanted to quit, but then couldn’t find a legit way to pay his bills, and pay them off.

  3. Waste of time in this subject…..shotgun can do a lot of damage to someone’s body with the right ammo…we need to talk about the criminals who use any means to kill or harm ppl ….how do we prevent or try to stop them ….
    -These conversations are only trying to point out how deadly certain type of ammo is….which is what they are designed to do….

    1. @Gordon Hopkins that’s incorrect.
      Shotguns can shoot just as fast, can hold more than 10 rounds, some can even hold 25 with drum magazines and lastly, they have more range than most recognize.

  4. God, Doc…my heart bleeds for you..i know how caring & sensitive you are..this must really shake you to the core…i’m so sorry…
    …i grew up on a farm…& was taught how to hunt at age 12..we hunted for food supplement because our farm was small & did not earn enough money to survive….i was taught how to Respect guns & treat them as a Tool, not a toy…& we had No need nor desire to own assault weapons..they are for Battlefields…Common sense dictates it would Obliterate the food…
    There is Zero Reason to own one of these types of guns, Except One..and that is Massacring People.
    Ban the damn things & be Done with it.
    Plus…Raise the Restrictions..no one needs to hunt for their food anymore, so Change the regulations for buying a Rifle or Shotgun or pistol..
    Raise the age to 21..& Make them take a Course, Several Weeks of Training..& Intensive Mental Evaluation..Which Have to be graded & Passed Before they can even Apply for one.
    Ban those frikken insane yahooligan paradise gun shows’…crack the hell Down on those back ally back of the truck or van gun sales…& make the Punishment FIT the damn crime!
    There can Only be One reason Anyone would Not want to do this…they Know they won’t Pass the Tests.
    & that means..they have NO damn bloody Business Owning Any of these weapons!
    ppl….
    Children are a Blessing..we are Supposed to Cherish them. Protect them..not make them frikken Targets for unbalanced lunatics!!

    1. @August Rush Yes, agreed…& ohhh, don’t get me started on obama…he could have done so much good but instead..he did all kinds of nasty covert crap..i knew he would, is why i didn’t vote for him..during Katrina when he was still in the senate..we were Begging him for help..& he smiled a faint little smile..and looked away. Ignoring us. That act said it all, & i was done with him then.

    2. Precisely correct. If you need to hunt or kill some little animal, use a 22.

      Assault weapons are designed for one thing: assaulting and massacring human beings with the maximum devastation. There is NO justification for ANY right to have them. Should rocket launchers also be legal? When does the access of civilians to military weapons of war end?

  5. The Doctor says GunShot Wounds are Nasty.
    Well Yeah,,,, it’s kinda the purpose. Do Fatal Damage.
    😏

  6. “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
    Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

  7. How many are in the hands of criminals and how did they get a hold of them let’s work in that
