Democrats: AR-15 ‘Assault Rifles’ Are More Lethal Than M1 Garands And Can Explode Human Skulls

The .22 caliber AR-15 continues to get a power upgrade from democrats bent on making it sound almost as lethal as a nuclear weapon. According the democrat “experts” the AR-15 is even more deadly than the M1 Garand and can cause a human skull to explode.

The House Judiciary Committee advanced an assault weapons ban to a full vote yesterday after some factually-challenged testimony from democrats. Here’s Rep. Lucy McBath, whose firearms expertise comes from having raised a bullet-sponge:

Not only can “assault rifles” explode human heads, they literally vaporize human bodies, leaving nothing left. If this is true, how do authorities know there has been a mass shooting? Seriously, if there is nothing left of the bodies, wouldn’t responding officers assume everything was fine?

Fat Jerry Nadler also had some hard-to-believe “facts” on “assault rifles.” Nadler’s expertise in firearms comes from his ability to shotgun a triple-fudge cake:

After being asked how an AR-15 is more lethal than an M1 Garand or an SKS, Fat Jerry went off the deep end.

“The M1 of WWII and various weapons that we saw the Chinese marching with, uh those ancient guns were far less lethal because, they had a larger slug but the muzzle velocity was much less and they didn’t tumble,” Nadler said.

Does this guy know firearms or what? The answer is “or what.”

The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle chamber in 30-06. The AR-15 is a rifle chamber in .223.  The muzzle velocity of a 30-06 round is between 3400 fps and 2400 fps, depending on the grain. The velocity of a 55-grain .223 round is 3,250 fps. A .223 could have more muzzle velocity than a 30-06 but then again it could also not.

One important thing to note is both the M1 and AR-15 have rifled barrels, so neither one sends a round tumbling.

As for the “ancient”claim made by Nadler regarding the Grand and SKS, they are both gas-operated semi-automatic rifles, which is the same technology used by AR-15s and AK-type rifles.

Nadler wasn’t quite done being stupid. When asked if the assault weapons ban was an attempt by democrats to get rid of guns in common use, he answers yes:

This is a huge admission considering that the DC v. Heller Supreme Court decision ruled that the people have the right to keep and bear guns in common use. Fat Jerry just said that the democrats’ bill is unconstitutional.

According to democrats, an AR-15 can decapitate an adult, turn people to dust and now explode human skulls and make human bodies disappear. I think mine might be defective because it doesn’t have nearly the destructive capabilities as the democrats have described.
