Setting the stage for "assault weapon ban"

[Ruark]

Here's a new video from MSNBC, designed to get people psyched up to support an AR ban. Pretty intense propaganda, especially for non-gun-owners who are on the fence.

Continuing riots demonstrate the widespread need for AR-15's and other semi-automatic firearms.

My counter argument would be this: Very few people who are "on the fence" about almost any topic—let alone guns—still take MSNBC even remotely seriously. In other words, those who still do, aren’t really on the fence.

What a load of malarkey.

M16 soooo deadly that a single shot took the head of enemy combatants.
M16 rounds so devastating that armed forces can’t take prisoners because it kills everyone even when they have minor wounds.

I am sure anecdotal evidence can be found but come on. They try to make M16 sound more deadly than a round from a 155mm howitzer. It’s all about instilling fear.

Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

-Mao Zedong

After seizing the government through a rigged election... it's only natural that authoritarian's would go for broke.

The FBI didn't have any issues supplying a weapon to ISIS terrorists inside the US link... and the US government supplying massive amounts of weapons to terrorists seems to be a regular occurrence link

Full government accountability is the first step to reducing terrorist violence

[RPBrown]

What a bunch of nonsense. Even the weapon he called a prototype AR-15 in Vietnam was not an AR 15.

"Roof Koreans" needed good >defense< guns

Roof Koreans, also known as Rooftop Koreans, is a slang term referring to Korean-American business owners who defended their storefronts during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Images of the shopkeepers standing on rooftops wielding firearms were widely publicized in news media, earning them a reputation for being bold and courageous. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/roof-koreans

Since we need "defense" guns anything used by Department of Defense should be exempt and classified as a "Defense" gun not an "assault" weapon

[Soccerdad1995]

I stopped watching when the Congressman said he was issued an AR-15 when he was in the military. Either he's lying, or he isn't talking about the U.S. military.

Shame on MSNBC for belittling my beloved M109 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer! The Paladin is MUCH more deadly than an M16!!

I'm not an AR aficionado and even I caught about a dozen total bull "facts." I waited for him to tell us how many people have died to the glock in the last few years.

This kind of production should get the people who made it, fired....

Remember when you were young and the news was just the news? Now it's 90% a persuasive argument for something with a few loose "facts" mixed in to try and make it look legit.

Well you know that AR 15 round is supersonic so the Shockwave sucks the oxygen out of the air and kills everyone in its path.

I better stop it before some knucklehead sees this and starts repeating it.

[der Teufel]

Yeah, plus a good portion of the time he was talking about AR-15s, they were showing a soldier with an M-60 machine gun.

If 5.56 is so lethal, why was the 6.8SPC developed?
