  1. +Jacob carolan That's true for all rifle cartridges. Rifle cartridges are generally more powerful than pistol rounds. The .303 and 30.06 used in typical hunting rifles have 3000 ft lbs of energy. The .223 of an AR is a small rifle cartridge, but still has the power of a 44 magnum.

  2. This video starts off, right off the bat, with a lie. The 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban" did not ban the AR-15 and AK-47. Rather, you were just restricted to buying a ban compliant gun. You could buy an AR or AK which had a magazine holding no more than 10 rounds and no bayonet lug or flash suppressor.

  3. Vice you should, for your own sake, consider deleting this video. The Assault Weapons Ban didn't ban any of these guns, it only banned features. You could still buy and AR-15 during the ban. And it did not ban the ownership of anything. You really shouldn't post videos with basic facts completely wrong.
