re: #206 Shiplord Kirel

Louis Gohmert says the principal should have had her own M-4 carbine. Bushmaster, makers of the school shooter’s gun, actually promotes their 5.56 rifles for home defense. Are these people insane? Do they not realize that these high velocity bullets can go right through the walls of a school office or the typical walls of a home? This is why real experts recommend shotguns or low velocity calibers (like the .45 ACP) for this kind of purpose. With so many AR clones out in suburbia, we’re going to see some kind of grotesque tragedy from wall penetration, sure as the sun rises in the east.

There are home defense rounds available in 5.56x45 caliber. Some are frangible, while other are shaped to reduce their ability to penetrate barriers. So that problem can be overcome with the right ammo.
