Reply #119: Only an anti could "logcially" defend both sides of same coin

AK-47 will "shred a deer"
AK-47 is not powerful enough to hunt deer with.

BAN EM BAN EM

BAN EM because they will "shred a deer" and if that doesn't work BAN EM because they are not true hunting rifles, they are not powerful enough to kill deer.

Other funny (well not funny more like sad) thing is that antis never understand that caliber != weapon.

The original AK-47 was 7.62x39mm SOVIET which is a relatively underpowered cartridge.
The original AR-15 was 5.56x45mm NATO which also is not a powerful cartridge.

However the AK-47 platform is available in dozens of calibers as is the AR-15 platform.
