    This is completely an understandable, and quite rational, attitude.

    Now, square it with "Gun Free School Zones".

    I found this tidbit of history interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

    So not even the worst elementary school murder. Sadly, the human race has been doing evil forever...

    FNC and CNN are pissing me off.

    If I hear that the .223 round is a "powerful" round / weapon one more time, I am going to thrown my wine at the TV.

    Honestly one to the head is to easy of a way out for the prick.
    Being a badass has nothing to do with it. I get where you guys are coming from and I'm not going to lie and pretend that I'm spec ops or something, but I can honestly say with conviction that in a situation like this or similar, if it meant protecting my family or kids, I wouldn't think twice about it and I wouldn't be sorry about it either.

    In this situation it wouldn't even have to be my kids.

    Dude. Absolutely brutal to listen to.

    Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not a mouse gun?

    .223 is used for varmint in the civilian world.

    In the military word, the round is used to wound soldiers on the battlefield. The thinking of NATO was to use a less powerful round so that when a soldier was shot and wounded, it would require two more shoulders to then remove the wounded soldier from the field of battle, thus making the enemy even more combat ineffective then if you simply killed the soldier.

    Thanks, I thought so.

    Use to always shoot a mini-14 when ever we'd have a friendly competition at my buddies property. I thought I remembered hearing that name thrown around.

    Fun little gun to shoot with the iron sights.

    Their verbage is very incorrect. It is a VERY small round, thta travels at a high speed. What that means is that FAR LESS energy is transferred to the target then a standard hand gun round. It will go right through someoen, as opposed to an expanding pistol round slowing down much faster in the body.
    HIgh power? No
    High sped, yes,.
    High penetration - yes.

    And the above picture is very poingnat. State laws dictate they carry the same maximum rounds in a clip, etc. The AR is simply more lightweight, and that is about it for most shooters. There are more "cool" attachments and rails to fasten them to, but the firearms themselves are nearly interchangeable. The whole folding/telescoping stocks part of the laws, and their affect on Overall Length are a complete and utter joke. As if that AR is any easier to conceal then the mini-14 with it's stock on hte shortest setting? Heck an AR pistol is not concealment friendly at all.
