    Not really true. The 5.56 was designed for a 20" barrel and a longer range than close quarters where it will start to wobble and on impact separate into pieces making pretty devastating wounds. The complaint comes with shorter barrels and close quarters where it does not have time to start wobbling.

    This almost the exact case in the UK now days. Your home is the thief's castle.

    So does this count as one DGU or two?

    Does it really matter? Why shouldn't that gun owner have a gun that looks military? The majority of rifles on the market (even your Marlin) are derivatives of military weapons.

    Are you saying no other type of gun could have been used to kill these two aholes? For example, a shotgun? How about a .45 semi auto? 9mm semi auto? The way you said...’But...but...but...no one needs an AK-47.’ Seems to imply an AK-47 was NEEDED. Seems you might not be aware there are other guns that could be used To accomplish the job

    Great, so we can all agree that the AK is no worse than a 9mm.

    Don't let your progressive friends hear you admit that, you'll be a mediocre (racial group) before you know what hit you.

    #00 Buck is good, but I prefer #4 Buck myself. In any case does anyone know the consequences of firing any gun inside a room? It's not just the penetration it's also an ear piercing event. You can't hear for a while. In a case like the above you're alive to live another day.

    He probably means if the gun is in his hands.

    The incident occurred outside Memphis proper. Actually in East Memphis near Germantown. Therefore the Memphis PD took at least 20 to 30 minutes to respond.

    Then you’re not very perceptive or you’re a very close minded.

    I read exactly what you wrote. I can’t help it if you struggle putting thought to paper.

    Absolutely. this homeowner would be in jail on murder charges right now. See this below? That's Britian.. 20180604_180853.png

    And here below is America.. If you choose. No one forces anyone to own firearms.

    20180604_181146.png

    That pretty much sums it all up
