The Great Assault Rifle Propaganda Scam!

Los Angeles, CA—Nearly three decades ago the Gun Control zealots pulled a fast one on the public and media.  This was right out of Nazi propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels’ playbook.

Goebbels said that,  “If you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth.” We all know now that he was spot on in that observation!

Certain military rifles were called assault rifles.  Perhaps it was a marketing gimmick to make them sound all-powerful and magical.  They were also all fully automatic as in, machine guns.

Soon gun makers exploited the designs of some of these assault rifles for the legal civilian market.  They made lookalike rifles that were only semi-automatic. 

Any similarity of the AR-15 rifle to the M-16 was purely cosmetic.  But these civilian copies became popular with military veterans that were all trained with the M-16.  That was simply because they were somewhat similar.

From the distance the M-16 and the AR-15 are identical.  Looks here are deceiving.  The Gun Control propagandists renamed the military lookalike rifles as, Assault Rifles!  This was a huge semantics scam.

The little lightweight M-16 (.223 caliber) rifles made their combat debut in Viet Nam.  It was a fast firing light rifle suited for jungle combat. 

The Viet Cong enemy in Viet Nam had no body armor and they lived in grass huts.  The more powerful rifle rounds of earlier wars just weren’t needed there. 

Soldiers could also carry much more of the smaller M-16 rounds into combat.

Military tacticians were also savvy enough to know that every wounded soldier required two healthy soldiers to carry and tend to each man wounded.  The lighter round proved very effective this way.

In an urban setting with concrete barriers and body armor availability the M-16 is woefully inadequate.  Low powered M-16/AR-15 rounds have poor penetration ability and can’t stop vehicles or anyone wearing light armor.

Currently, our soldiers in the Mideast should be carrying heavier weapons such as the M-14 (.30 caliber) developed at the End of the Korean War.  Instead they must rely on the weapons better suited for Viet Nam jungle warfare.

American law enforcement chose M-16 style weapons simply because of ammunition availability and the veterans that were hired were already familiar with them.  

Accordingly police agencies were satisfied with using cheap, light body armor that would stop the little M-16/AR-15 rounds.

The ignorant media and public assumed that these lookalike weapons of war were the deadliest ever! They always ignorantly refer to them as “high powered assault weapons”.

The AR-15 (.223 caliber) round proved too underpowered for hunting larger American game animals like deer and antelope.  The animals would get shot and runaway wounded only to needlessly suffer. 

High-powered rifle rounds barely begin at .308 (.30 caliber) and advance upward until the .50 caliber BMG.  Calling a M-16/AR-15 round, “high powered” is indeed laughable.

Assault weapon bans were designed to take out the most popular AR-15 rifles because of their sheer numbers.  

The fact remains the more benign looking wood stocked rifles are still much more powerful.  The American Sniper, Chris Kyle used a bolt-action .308 (.30 caliber) rifle for his legendary, one-shot, one-kill missions.

Just look at the size difference above.  Pictured above is the tiny M-16/AR-15 round (.223 caliber) is compared to the M-1 rifle round (.30 caliber).

AR-15/M-16/M-4 Rifle Platforms are Low Powered and Ineffective!

Washington-DC—The latest political assault on gun rights seems to surround this rifle platform more than any. However they are planning to ban millions of other handguns, rifles and shotguns along the way.  Ignorance and stupidity is leading the gun banners and grabbers in the wrong direction. 

The AR-15/M-16/M-4 is essentially the same short rifle or carbine.  It fires a miniscule .223caliber/5.56 MM cartridge.  

The already banned military M-16/M-4 assault rifle versionis fully automatic is not part of this argument.  The military version was designed so that the user could pull the trigger once and fire two to three rounds.  Holding the trigger back would of courseallow a machinegun type burst of fire until the magazine of up to 30 rounds went empty. However the barrel would be quickly destroyed by heat with thiskind of fire.  This little rifle was onlydesigned to fire the short bursts doubling or tripling the likelihood the target would be hit. 

The cost of ammunition is very high and any normal machinegun firing would quickly send all but its wealthiest owners to the poorhouse.  Even for the emergency of self-defense, slow and deliberate fire is the best way to effectively fight for your life.  Spraying lead and praying forhits is no help in any firefight.

This rifle platform was a suitable weapon for close range jungle combat such as we had in Viet Nam. No heavy armor to penetrate or substantial building materials werepresent in most of Viet Nam to defeat this tiny round of ammunition.  The other advantage was that soldiers couldcarry more ammunition.  In most urbansettings building materials and light armor can easily stops this round.

The civilian version this is a semi-automatic rifle that canonly discharge a single round for every pull of the trigger.  For deer hunting this is a horrible roundbecause it is much more likely to only wound and make the animals suffer.  The ignorant politicians and media insist onhyping this little rifle as a so-called “high-powered weapon of war”.  It’s really better suited for small game likegroundhogs.  By the way, since this is only semi-automatic it is NOT an assault rifle!

The little civilian, semi-automatic carbine is great forsimple close range, self-defense.  It’seasy for training purposes and it’s looks are incredibly intimidating to thepoint of misleading the ignorant that don’t know better.

A much more suitable military rifle cartridge is the standard  .30 caliber, 7.62 MM X 54 NATOround. It’s used for deer hunting, military combat and sniping operations. 

The 7.62 round itself has substantially more gunpowder and lead!  The M-14 platform was a superiorweapon for combat.  The rifle is heavierand makes troop movements slower and more cumbersome for the physicallyweak.   The round penetrates armor alongwith building materials and it will dispatch enemy soldiers or criminals in ahurry.

For me I much prefer the M-14 platform or the more expensiveand substantially classier FNFAL rifles. They both fire the 7.62 MM NATO round. 

If we have another Civil War, our civilian resistance willoutgun government agents because they will have many more, larger hunting stylerifles.  Well-placed shots from America’scivilian bolt action and scoped deer rifles will far outgun the M-4 carbinesissued to any force sent out to confiscate firearms. 

We were not given the 2^nd Amendment to keep andbear inferior or ineffective firearms. We were give this right so we could resist tyrannical attempts to disarmus.  Are they going to wage war againstgun owners?  They can count on anunnecessary bloodbath.  We will tolerateno more Wacos or Randy Weaver assaults. The Gallows await the despots!
