Well, the claim that a target gets damaged more by a gun with a 30
round magazine than one with a ten round magazine is about as
physically possible as a claim that UFO's are responsible for George
Bush's change in attitude toward foreign policy.
Did they show the 'legal' AK-47 being shot at DIFFERENT targets, or
after the same ALREADY DAMAGED targets?
Did they shoot the same number of rounds into each target? Obviously 30
rounds is going to cause more damage than 10 rounds of the same ammo.
Do you know what? I can use a 30 round magazine on legal rifles very
easily, and such magazines are entirely legal and easy to buy. So that
part of the piece was a total fraud.
Furthermore, if I have three ten round magazines, I can cause just as
much damage as one thirty round magazine. Anybody who thinks it is
actually possible to stand in the open firing thirty rounds at a cop
without him getting any shots off at you, is entirely insane. Actual
military rifles like the M-16 have had their fully automatic settings
removed, replaced by just a 3 round burst setting. 3 rounds. That is
the typical number of rounds a person can shoot at one time before
their aim is entirely thrown off by recoil. So it doesn't matter
whether you have 10 or 30 rounds in your magazine. A soldier or cop is
never going to fire more than three or so rounds at a time anyways,
leaving plenty of time for replacing magazines. So that is a fraud too.
But do you know what? If I shoot you at center body mass with just ONE
AK-47 round (7.62mmx39mm), legal or illegal firearm, you are dead.
Period, end of story. The ballistic energy from that round, which is
used in many different models of hunting rifle manufactured around the
world, is so high that the shock wave from the bullet destroys any
tissue within a 4 inch radius of the flight path of the bullet. So that
part of the story is a fraud too.
To claim that ten bullets penetrating a bullet proof vest is somehow
safer than 30 bullets penetrating a bullet proof vest is a complete
fraud.
Do know what else? When the officer claimed that his prisoners wanted
to get ahold of such rifles, he was a liar too. There are absolutely NO
prisoners in his jurisdiction convicted of attempted purchse of a
firearm by a felon. There is NO compliance with Operation Exile, and
the ONLY people who the police disarm in that community are law abiding
individuals who have had unsupported, unreviewed, uncorroborated
allegations made against them by estranged spouses, and it is done
without judicial review, without appeal. So that is a fraud too.
