Scarborough: AR-15 “More Lethal than M-16”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/20/2018 4:26:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough often touts his deep roots in the gun culture, growing up in the South. But either he never knew as much about guns as he’s claimed, or his passion for gun control has made him forget or ignore what he once knew.

On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough repeatedly claimed that the AR-15, used in Parkland and in other mass shootings, is “more lethal” than the M-16. H/t FReeper SnuffaBolshevik.

Scarborough often brags about coming from the gun culture. But to make the case for more gun control today, he repeatedly claimed that an AR-15 is “more lethal than an M-16.”

Hat tip to FReeper SnuffaBolshevik.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

He just mixed up M-16 and M-80. Easy mistake to make.

So the exact same round going through almost the exact same rifle is somehow more lethal in an ar-15? This would be conical if they weren’t do serious about coming after guns.

There guys have their marching orders from the collectivist masters who truly call the shots and are salivating at being close to their one world order. Trump really threw them a curveball, but they’re still working hard at it.

There needs to be a mass number of international arrests to curb these guys.

Joe’s office desk was more lethal than the M-16 my son carried around in four deployments.

In a way he is right. People are conditioned to think that full auto is tremendously lethal. Slower, well aimed fire is more effective in most cases.

Do Beaver and Butthead actually believe this? Can anyone possibly be that ignorant?

Little Joe should shut the “F” up.Apparently he doesn’t realize how ignorant he sounds and that’s about mostly everything.

It time for Joe to grow up and become an unemotional adult.Then he just may learn something.

Don't know if that dead girl's boss ever wore a uniform but in my day the M-16 was capable of firing fully automatic.They let us do it once at the rifle range at Fort Knox in '69.Pretty cool indeed!

However,I understand that they were since modified to only fire three round bursts...which would still make them more "dangerous" than the AR-15.

I wonder if he means M-60.

Little Lord Scarborough is a Zelig. When he’s a good ole boy, say, down Alabamy Way, he carries a banjo and wears a overalls. When he’s in Manhattan, he’s a svelte, cool, fellow - something along the lines of Buddy Love in The Nutty Professor only now he has an electric guitar. Dapper. cool, narrow suit and tie and no socks.

"...AR-15 ‘more lethal’ than M-16..."


How can that even remotely be possible?
Everyone knows an AR-15 is one fewer than a M-16.
It is just simple counting, after all.

Seeing those two together, pontificating, is like being lectured about some silly issue by a smarmy know-it-all couple from down the block.

True ... but the selector switch on every M-16 I ever saw had the "one at a time" position.

They want to mass arrest us. Not gonna happen.

Hard to oppress more than half the population, unless the pop let’s them.

I wouldn’t comment on guns and bullets cause i dont know that the #### i’m talking about.

Good advice for these guys.

Born in 1963...and no evidence of military service that I can find.Yet he knows everything there is to know about the M-16.
