(6,785 posts)There is no "gist".
"The .223 was designed to have only just enough rotation that when it strikes an object it acts like a dud and has the stopping action of a 50 caliber weapon." Is 100% false. Except the "dud" part, and absolutely no one understands what the hell that's even supposed to mean. Presumably he meant "dumdum", and that's wrong too.
Y'all sound like the anti-choicers shrieking about how abortion should be banned because it causes breast cancer. "All guns should be banned" is a respectable argument. If you feel that way, then make your case. Using hyperbole, distortion, or lies to do it completely destroys your own points.
This is why I keep saying the prohibitionists are just as much to blame as the NRA for the weak gun laws. No one takes you seriously because you're mostly arguing from positions of extreme ignorance and you get a sad when called on it.
