(2,337 posts)For all your issues with the effects of terminal ballistics of a 223, are you as concerned about the .222 and the 7mm? Immensely popular and far more destructive rounds used frequently in deer hunting.
There isn't a round on earth that makes a smaller exit hole than entry.
Nobody is arguing for ordnance weapons as you describe. There is no crew served machine gun lobby. We have laws and restrictions on those things. What we have never restricted from ownership (there are already thousands of laws restricting their use, posession, sale etc on the books) are long arms in common usage. Like it or not,the ar 15 is one of the most, if not the most purchased and used rifles in the country. It is a rifle that holds more rounds, is lighter, and more acurate than previous versions. If you want to restrict rifles for being more effective with the advancement of technology , you might want to go back to the1860s and closet he barn door.
