My intention here was to dispel just one part of the myth about "AR15s" being "high powered assault rifles." Fortunately enough data about the mechanical-biological interface of the business end of this and many other guns exists to demonstrate that the AR15 is not in fact as "high powered" as they would like you to believe.<br /><br />I would be happy to address the attacks on "magazine capacity" though that is not really biology related. There is plenty of data out there from the FBI, law enforcement, and other sources to suggest that there would be no real benefit to limiting magazine capacity, and it would in fact hinder good people from protecting themselves.<br /><br />MikeMike0331https://www.blogger.com/profile/13535353804448441656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-47752841025086479142013-03-01T12:37:22.453-08:002013-03-01T12:37:22.453-08:00I think politicians and gun-control activists are ...I think politicians and gun-control activists are focusing on the wrong thing when bringing up types of ammunition. Shouldn't the real concern be high-capacity magazine-fed rifles? Better yet, it should be on mental-health disorders including their detection and treatment. <br /><br />Joseph Starrett(3)<br />In my opinion, gun-reform won't stop those in psychological distress from committing a mass-shooting. Getting these people help would be a lot more effective than trying to force the gun out of their hands (they might find another tool for violence anyways).<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699837191587599723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-72321822706513714702013-03-01T09:24:27.253-08:002013-03-01T09:24:27.253-08:00Michael this blog highlights myths that people are...Michael this blog highlights myths that people are learning from the media.
