.@CoryBooker on AR-15's: "these bullets hit bodies in the liquify organs. I have seen too many shootings in my community. The ones done with pistols people are more likely to survive. The one son with these guns they cause unbelievable damage." pic.twitter.com/CjRc1Syoe4

It went fron being able to explode your face, to sucking out your lungs, to now liquifying your organs.
About the only thing he said correct is that survivability rates from pistol shots are better than rifle shots, because of physics and not because of magic like he thinks.
I believe it is the 9mm that blows lungs out, good sir. The 22 calibers are supposed to not be as dangerous, though I suppose the extra .003 in a .223 makes it a bit more horrific than other 22's.
A 5.56 on the other hand practically vaporizes a man, like in star trek. In fact, the AR-15 was loosely based on this phaser:
These people have no clue OR they know and deliberately are lying for political purposes. Well scratch that, they have no clue AND are lying for their political gain
It's worse than marijuana propaganda saying that it turns men into rapists.
what sucks is the vast majority of americans eat this BS up because they are to lazy or stupid to do any research on this topic at all. they hear AR15 and they think it is a super ninja bazooka launcher with pterodactyl wings.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
This is the problem with idiots, they are always searching for confirmation of their existing agenda. They receive some nugget of truth, but they don't really hear or understand it, they just twist it and manipulate it to try to support their objective.
Yes, the ballistics of being hit with a .223 round are exponentially worse than a pistol. That's accurate. But of course, the same applies to any rifle round not just a particular caliber. As far as rifle rounds go, the .223 is light.
"Liquify organs" is just political theatre wording. If he's said they transfer of energy from any center mass hit will likely kill you if it's a rifle round - just from the amount of energy transferred through all your vita organs, that wouldn't have made the sound bite he wanted.
Also - the deadliness of my .223 is the exact reason I want it in a crisis. I have no interest in merely wounding someone who poses a threat to my life of my family's life.
If I buy an AR-15 based on the idea I need to liquify some organs as promised, can he be sued for false advertising when that doesn't happen? Same for decapitations, lungs removed, etc.
