School Walkouts

How is this different from say a 30.06 bolt action hunting rifle? From what I can tell based on my own rudimentary knowledge and what I glean from the internet they both shoot around the same speed but the 30.06 bullet is about 3 times the weight so has 3 times the energy. All else being equal the wound from a 30.06 would be 3 times as bad. All this talk of how bad the AR15 is reminds me of headlines of pit bulls having the bite strength of a lion whereas in reality nobody really measures such things so ya know, bulls**t. Not that pit bulls and AR15s aren't problems, just not for the reasons normally bandied about. In both pit bulls and AR15s some part of the problem is that problem people seek them out because of a general image they have been associated with.

For the record I think that weapons clearly designed to maintain a very high rate of fire should be restricted. Nobody has ever truly needed to expend hundreds of rounds in a few minutes protecting sheep from coyotes.
