In reply to the discussion: White House Readies Executive Action On Gun Control [View all]GGJohn
(9,951 posts)80. Jeezus Christ, using a rubber band is considered by the ATF as highly illegal and will earn
you a trip to a federal correctional facility of their choice.
And the AR-15 fires bullets with three times the power of regular guns.
Where the hell are you getting this?
The .223 bullet is a medium velocity bullet, it's not a very powerful bullet compared to standard hunting rounds.
Armor piecing bullets have been banned for civilians for years now, only the police and military are authorized to have them, again, a federal law that will earn you time in a federal pen.
The .223 bullet is ideal for hunting the wild hogs we have in this part of AZ., it's also ideal for Turkeys, it's perfect for our coyote problem we have here.
Please do some research and learn what you're talking about before posting.

You have it backwards: AR-15's are 1/3 the power of most regular centerfire guns

NickB79: Exactly. Handguns ave. around 400 ft.lbs and AR-15 is around 12-1500 ft.lbs.

The law doesn't require the receiver of the gun to be "prohibited" for it to be a "straw purchase".
