When a 2A advocate compares guns to autos, ask about the Corvair

69. Beto is just plain wrong about all of that.

In GA where the deer are smallish and hogs about the same size, the 5.56 round out of an AR is plenty effective. Go ahead and google Hunting with AR and you'll see lots of effective hunting pictures. Many states let people hunt with 3 or 5 round magazines with any rifle.

You can challenge yourself with an AR at 25 yards ranges where pistols and rifles are used. You don't need long range distances to shot an AR.

It is a great weapon for self/home defense. If I were faced with a dangerous intruder in my home, the weapon I would want the most is my short-barrel AR-15. A shouldered firearm is usually more stable than a pistol to shoot and a single rifle round at room-sized distances would likely be effective to stop a person right there. The only problem with an AR for self-home defense is access if you have it locked up. There are a lot of biometric quick-access handgun safes for handguns that can live on countertops, bookshelves, or end tables, but fewer more expensive options for long guns.

Beto likes to talk about "body shredding" bullets, but in an actual self-defense situation that is what you want. You want a single bullet (preferably hollow-point) to damage the person enough that they are no longer a threat. Shotguns "body shred" too if you use buckshot. And there really isn't a bigger hole than on created with a shotgun slug when considering usual firearms.

I get it. Even though handguns are used more frequently in mass shootings, some of the most terrible ones have used AR15 and that made an impact on him. Hence, his desire to confiscate evil black rifles.

Semi-auto AR15s are NOT usually provided to IS personell entering the battle field.
