Most of my guns are semi automatics. 3 out of 4 pistols, a 12 gauge shot gun, and a 270 are all semi automatics. Then I have a lever action 30-30, single shot 20 gauge, and 22 magnum revolver.
Now there you go, putting facts out there. Next thing you are going to be telling people that "AR" doesn't stand for assault rifle.

I guess you missed the riots of 2020 that caused billions of dollars damage and killed several people.
The M16 (not AR15) replaced the M14 because it is lighter and the smaller .22 caliber vs .30 ammunition would substantially increase a soldiers load out. A great advantage of the M16 and its ammunition was its lightness. The M14 and 100 rounds in magazines have a weight of 16.5 pounds. The M16 and 250 rounds also weighed 16.5 pounds. Meaning that each combat soldier and Marine could carry at least twice as many rounds for the same weight. There is no magic destructive element of the ammunition.
Your statement shows your lack of understanding. https://esa.dc.gov/sites/default/fi...re and Life Safety Guidelines for Schools.pdfIt's easy to overthrow the government from behind a keyboard
While Mango Mussolini who still leaches off of the taxpayer dollar pushed for single points of entry in schools at an NRA convention despite being against fire code and would result in far more avoidable deaths.
The only reason the ar-10 wasn't adopted years earlier was the barrel couldn't pass the torture test. A barrel made of a new class of steel was submitted but the m-14 had already been selected by the military.
My M1A will out shoot the Husqvarna all day long.
Interesting, you have to clarify you were not directing a comment to a specific person, who's contributions are not about tractors, but off topic subjects that you quoted to disagree with.Couldn't disagree more with your 'single points of entry' comment; it's BY FAR the easiest, most common, most reliable and simple method of controlling access to schools. How you figure that it would 'result in far more avoidable deaths' doesn't make sense to me. EDIT: All access points remain usable (for fire exit), but persons entering the facility do so thru one monitored (secured) entry point.
NO security improvements would ever be instituted if they were 'against fire code' or 'would result' in 'avoidable deaths'. The FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE for every school is the four walls! Controlled, monitored access to a school should be considered as a BASIC POLICY for any school security protocol.
One of the biggest problems I saw during my tenure as a school resource officer was students & faculty leaving doors open for access or environment attenuation (despite it being policy for locked doors & single-point building access).
The failures of the PD in TX needs to serve as a wake-up to all LEO's. Children are innocent & defenseless. A sworn LEO that does not IMMEDIATELY address that kind of threat is not doing his/her job.
Just my opinions, based on 23 yrs LEO service, 10 years as school resource officer.
2nd EDIT: I would like to say that my comments are intended to answer the concept at discussion, not disparage any member in any way; I've read numerous postings by radas and I know he's a solid contributor to this forum
AR is short for ArmaLite RifleNow there you go, putting facts out there. Next thing you are going to be telling people that "AR" doesn't stand for assault rifle.
You must be one of those uninformed crazy gun people.
PS-don't tell anyone, but the US Military found the M4 platform lacking and has signed a contract to replace all those guns.
PSS-6.8mm SPC cartridge was designed to address the deficiencies of the terminal ballistics of the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge currently in service with the armed forces of all NATO-aligned countries. The 5.56mm caliber was standardized by NATO in the 1980s and has been used by members of the alliance since then. The 5.56mm ammunition, however, is not suitable for close-range engagements apart from lacking stopping power.

My statement was based on fact, single point entry/exit is not code compliant. Nice try.
The pot calling the kettle black. Your statement shows a lack of understanding only because I've hurt your feelings in the vaccine thread and this one for not confirming to groupthink.
Speaking of grouprhink...."guns r bad" "ar15s are scary" "more regulation needed"My statement was based on fact, single point entry/exit is not code compliant. Nice try.

Interesting? How?....This thread is 'off topic' for a tractor forum IMO...My post reiterated my intention to address the 'topic'....Not bang on anyone, I'm appreciative of meaningful contribution. I guess I just wanted to smooth over my post a little after reflecting on it for a period after posting.
Only one point of entrance is required.My statement was based on fact, single point entry/exit is not code compliant. Nice try.

It's the amount of exits required that meet the code in case of emergency.
...? Who said ARs are scary and guns are bad? Guns in the hands of unstable people is what's bad hence the need to restrict the ability to purchase. Go back to trying to overthrow the government from your computer chair.
I understand, and agree with you.Only one point of entrance is required.
How many entrances are there to a movie theater versus exits?
Same with restaurants? Or any other public venue??
As far as schools, in our area the schools external doors are locked. Parents are directed to one door, which is next to the office in most of the buildings and has an intercom and camera. The office staff are then able to buzz you in. Students showing up late, have to go to the buzz in door.I understand, and agree with you.
Although most venues, restaurants, and theatres have at least 2 entrances
Looks like it's pulling a bit to the left. Just kidding nice grouping and gun!
I'm not quite as old as you but I can remember walking down the street with my .243 Winchester on my shoulder. Nobody paid any attention. This was in California!
