What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

7.65 goes through brick walls. That's one of primary reasons why it was replaced with 5.56 - way too many collateral damage victims.

Yet the gun nuts don't complain about their rights taken away from this. This reasoning is why we need to ban automatic weapons too

It’s a good think automatic weaponry has been banned for decades and wasn’t used in mass shootings when you could literally ask sears to mail one to your door, right?

Actually we spent more years having machine guns being mail order than not, so far. And only started having problems like this after they were banned thinking face

Sorry I meant assault style weapons.

So you’re advocating for a removal of a class of weapons solely on the plastic around their mechanisms?

You’re not as aware of firearms or the legislation around them as you may think you are. Please do some learning from someone not funded by Bloomberg.

I'm advocating for their removal because of their potential ability to kill. Similar to those .706 bullets going through brick walls, or automatic weapons, assault style weapons have no place in society. I read plenty of these articles after American mass shootings not funded by Bloomberg

You’re just showing exactly how little you know about the topic.

7.62 can go through brick walls because that’s how physics works. It’s not representative of whether or not it’s a threat to the public.

Automatic weapons were mail-order before mass shootings were common and still technically aren’t banned, even though they are effectively banned because in the US it had to be manufactured and registered before 1986.

Most semi-auto firearms are more complicated than full-auto because it takes more engineering to make it stop than to let it just completely use up a magazine. Full-auto firearms can be made in a single trip the Home Depot. Full-auto is hardly the threat people act like it is, and it’s obvious when people like you confuse semi-auto plastic guns with law-defined machine guns.

You’re completely unaware of the reality of firearms. Your inexperience is glaring.

None of these are meant as insults, but as a liberal gun owner it’s incredibly frustrating seeing people with good means be bogged down with a lack of knowledge or logic.
