Basically yes. But there are other details.
You are so right. On New yawns eve there was an info gal for the incoming sheriff here in broward co (FL) who was repeated on every radio newscast. The message was that you should not fire guns in the air and that an even better option was to “turn in your weapons”. While she did not tell anyone where to go to turn them in, the implications were clear. If she could have seen my hand gestures when her words were broadcast, my suggestion as to where she might go would have been quite clear as well.
Spent all day yesterday and part of the previous evening shooting a new AR15. Our purpose was zeroing, and that was totally smooth at both 25 and 100 yards. We used both the .223 it is bored for and the alternate chamber that will fire the .22LR.
There was no "full auto" selection, only "safe" and "fire". One round was all one could get out of one trigger pull.
It would be great for coyotes and other varmints, and there is no deer gun season in Ohio except for shotguns and muzzle-loaders. All of us shooting were within a 5 inch circle after it was zeroed, so it would be an ideal varmint rifle.
Surprisingly, not one of us decided to commit mass homicide. /sarcasm
62-grain 5.56 fixes that problem.

From the article:
“Interestingly, Pennsylvania allows the use of some .223s, but bans others — .223s with bolt actions are legal, but not semi-automatics like the AR-15.
“The law’s been on the books for a long time,” noted Jerry Feaser, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. “But hunters can use semi-automatic shotguns for taking small game and waterfowl.”
Apparently Pennsylvania is concerned about deer hunters “blazing away” with semi-automatic firearms—a concern other states don’t share.”
The last few seconds are priceless!
A 123 gr 7.62X39 is nice for a medium powered rifle cartridge.
I have also found that the black or camo AR’s are even more powerful. I’ll bet if it had a bayonet lug on it you could drop a blue whale from 100 miles away.
Thanks, kinda what I thought.
Don’t forget what a Collapsible Stock, Bipod, Flashlight and Laser will do to make that .556 Round go through an M1 Tank like a hot knife through Butter.
Remember, if you paint an AR Semi Automatic Rifle (Evil Assault Weapon with a mind of its own) anything but Black, Muzzle Velocity is compromised.
I’m looking for the ‘Libtards and Guns” Wikipedia page to do some updating.
Sounds like Friday at my house.
There are 2 variants of the M4 carbine:
US Military:
R0920 Safe-Semi-Burst
R0921 Safe-Semi-Auto
The old, original M16 selector switch had Safe-Semi-Auto. The later M16A2 selector switch had Safe-Semi-Burst(3 round), IIRC. I suspect the vast majority of M4 selector switches are Safe-Semi-Burst(3 round).
LOL!
Thanks for the link.
That's basically correct. For fully automatic rifles, machine guns, etc., many states ban them completely. If a state doesn't have such a ban, you need really big bucks to buy those that were made prior to when the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 took effect. You can only buy those made before that ban took effect, and you have to go through the ATF and pay a fee of $200 - $300, IIRC.
Anyone who believes that an AR-15 is the most dangerous weapon that a patriot owns doesn’t have a clue.
What would you recommend in it's stead?
You know that there is an easy solution to the under powered AR-15 in .223 The DPMS Company has a .308 version. I got one several years ago, an absolute tack driver the 308LR with the 16 inch Heavy Barrel.
At what range?
What kind of MOA is it throwing?
