Thread: What are they talking about? False claims around firearms

To start:
"Assault rifles" we don't have assault rifles which has selective fire - full auto and/or burst. MSSA is semi auto only.

"High calibre" 223/5.56 is a small calibre, intermediate cartridge. It's essentially the same calibre as the .22LR

"No one needs MSSA" professional pest control, 3 gun/multigun/service rifle shooters and any other fit n proper person who has legit use of the said firearms beg to differ. We could also argue no one needs a car that is capable of driving over 100 km/h and we should ban all those cars.

Yeah go argue that a .223 is “essentially” the same as a .22, because that’s a great argument to have.

Go argue to ban all cars that go over 100km .

All this talk lately mostly sounds like hysterical garbage and will actually end up doing more harm than good.
