Additionally, "in most states an AR-15 is allowed for hunting big game." So, the so-called notion that you can't hunt deer with an ar15 because it's somehow not potent enough is essentially the same kind of hyperbole that you see from one broadcaster in that its amplified to make a point. Indeed, I see from this article, that deer hunter rarely shoot deer from over 300 yards and the ar15 can kill one at 500 so as the article amply states, "Every state has some sort of restriction on the calibers you can use when hunting different types of game. Many states also have restrictions on how many rounds you are allowed to have in your magazine, or even if you are allowed to hunt with semi-automatic rifles. Although with all the restrictions, in most states an AR-15 is allowed for hunting big game. Most states require hunters to use at least a .22lr, so the ever so slightly larger (but much faster) .223 is also allowed. As with any legal regulation, it is your responsibility to know the laws of your state, which you can find on your state’s DNR website. "

So, stop feigning the BS echo that the ar15 is somehow inadequate as a semi-auto killing machine that can't kill deer because it's somehow not lethal enough...
"So, stop feigning the BS echo..."
I have not said what I think your typing is trying to say.

James, sure, that network coverage should not be mentioned. It wasn't even a typo.
No, ludicrous coverage should be talked about.

To give people an idea, I vaguely remember checking on price years ago and a nice Colt was $24,000.
Greg, does that sound like maybe my memory is still attached? In the ballpark?

But down your page a little...
The smaller lighter bullets don't impart much energy and are susceptible to the wind and do not have the power to impart HYDROSTATIC SHOCK meaning animal DEATHS could be slow.

The wind makes hitting the bullseye tricky and most hunters are all about that. A little off and then they have to find the deer.

You were not straight about what your omegaoutdoors link said.

Are you pretending no future killers have made it across Biden's lax S. border. It is obvious out of thousands that have made it across unchecked some would have been stopped from entering.

He gets an "F" at the border and an "F" at gas statioms.

Really? Then Biden must be smart to allow thousands to get across the border unchecked! I did not understand the trade-off!

That said, you have it in your head that immigrants are either here to commit crimes or vote illegally. That much is evident from your past posts on the matter.
Getting back on topic, the AR15 is the prefered killing machine of mass murders who are typically American citizens...
Give me a few minutes here. I had some workers here, some Hispanic, and they are still rolling on the floor laughing from you writing, "...Biden isn't encouraging..."

I have it in my head, "...commit crimes...vote illegally..." Millions of people in the world would like to be here. As always is the case a certain percentage will commit crimes. If there has been only a few thousand crimes, that is a few thousand more than would have occurred without them.
Now they called their friends and more are rolling on the floor laughing.
YEAH, BIDEN JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ANYBODY THINKS HE IS OK WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!  JUST SHOCKING!
AND HE HAS TRIED AS HARD AS HE CAN AND SOME STILL CROSS THE BORDER! HE IS GOING TO GET MAD SOON!!!

Interesting read from an article in today's, "TheHill":

Interesting read? It is what many have been saying for a lot of years.
