Biden doesn't realize it, but he has something of a point.
I had a discussion with a budding-anti niece about AR's and 30 round magazines. She was going on about how quickly AR's can kill. I explained to her that one pull of the trigger on an AR15 launches a 55 grain .22" diameter projectile that hasabout 1300 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, while one pull of the trigger of a shotgun loaded with 00 buck releases 9 55 grain .33" diameter projectiles that have about 1600 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. An AR15 with a 30 round mag is going to release 30 of these projectiles, while a shotgun with a seven shell tube is going to release 63 of these projectiles. On that basis of that, I asked, which should be banned? She didn't have a good response.
