TO MY ANTI-GUN FRIENDS... a little visual assistance to put things in perspective.
In this photo, the rifle on top is a hunting rifle. The rifle below it is labeled an ?Assault rifle.?
A .30-06 hunting rifle fires the bullet labeled 30-06 in the 2nd part of the photo. The ?assault rifle? fires the bullet labeled .223/5.56 . A 30-06 round will go through at least 3 people, or an engine block (seriously). The .223 probably won?t pass through a single person.
Both of these semi-automatic rifles fire as fast as the trigger is pulled. One just looks ?scarier.? Politicians play on your emotions in an attempt to get your permission to take away rights. They aren't trying to take away hunting rifles - yet - because they don't think you'll fall for that. Instead, they use scary words like "assault rifle" in the hopes that you'll go along with them as they take away our second amendment rights. That assault rifle sure looks scary, after all, even though a .30-06 hunting rifle is far more powerful.
Politicians just want to scare you. Don?t fall for it.
