Very likely a "black" rifle.

No reporting of the caliber by the reporters on the scene.

It seems that the .223 can take down perps 3 at a time day or night.

Not far from me, you may remember, a man shot and killed 3 perps in a home invasion.

That’s another Tre for the .223.

the 10-judge majority concludes that the guns and magazines covered by Maryland's ban are "dangerous and unusual" because they are "exceptionally lethal weapons of war" that are not appropriate for civilian use:

Someone should bring up the percentage of police cruisers which carry at least one AR-15. The AR has replaced the shotgun in an increasing number of police depts.

There should be a ruling that any firearm in use by police departments or the people protecting politicians and judges are, by that fact alone, appropriate for possession by citizens for protection against criminals and terrorists.

Censorship under the auspices of "News". The Enimedia is complicite in perpetuating the lie. Now get those 19 year old boys to the range.

"Every man a rifleman".

Citizens are rarely protected by police. The police are basically writing reports of what has already happened and protecting them selves. That’s just the way things are. In any event they are hamstrung by the courts. We have heard on many occasions they can’t do anything because they didn’t see what happened. Lately a state trooper wouldn’t go into an abandoned house where meth was obviously being cooked and wouldn’t call for back up.
What we are seeing is overworked police and ambulance drivers not getting to people in need because of constant runs to treat over doses and this in rural counties that used to be extremely safe.

Caliber?

The .222 hunting rifle can shoot exactly the same bullet a .223 does. And for that matter the exact same bullet as my .221 Fireball pistol.

Where do we get such dummies as judges?

Lethal? What the hell is a gun for?

They simply don’t get it. The 30-06 deer rifle is one hell of a lot more lethal than the .223.

Very good description of the “exceedingly lethal” .223 rifle.

At ranges up to 150 yards, 170 gr cast lead bullet loads with my 30-30 are much more lethal than the popular .223. And I can reload them for 12-15 cents per round.

AR with cheap Russian TulAmmo steel case rounds would be my guess...always good to have an uncle or brother living next door...

Recent use of an AR-15 for home defense:

Based on the angle of that shell casing shown in the first picture and that it looks like it’s lacquer coated - I’d say that it’s a 5.45x39 casing.

Note the taper on the case - .223/5.56 aren’t tapered.

5.45x39 is even more lethal than 5.56 based on my experience with hogs/feral dogs.

[Scrambler Bob]

three .223 steel casings
= = =

Probably RUSSIAN!

[Big Red Badger]

Looks like the RUSSIANS!

Heller did nothing of the sort. But that did not stop the 4th Circuit from concocting the lie.

In the fine tradition of lower court decisions that purported to cite Miller but made up their interpretation out of whole cloth.

The pictures of the casings are indicative it was a .223 semi-auto. I guess I woke up grumpy again. Pissed off is more like it tho. .222, .222mag, .223, .556, .225 Winchester, and I guess the .221 Fireball. Guess what. All these calibres are fired from bolt action rifles with the possible exception of the .221 Remington Fireball. Mine was a single shot bolt action pistol. Anyway, how can anyone tell, from a pic, which of the .22 calibres these casings are from? And also, how the hell can anyone determine from the pics that these rounds were fired from a semi auto? On top of that, where did the "author" learn to write? Rant over, for now. May all you mothers out there have a wonderful Mother's Day. Your importance is too often diminished. 🤗

The .223 has taken the place of the old rim fire .22 rifle for most families.

Its an excellent varmint gun, and the Ruger “Ranch Rifle” is a reasonably priced gun that can be found all over the place.

A common ordinary gun by any measure.
