David Hogg says AR15 has effective range over 1500 meters

Not even going to listen to it. Hat on backwards punk. Have some self respect.

Do all these people know there is a law in place that states you can't murder people.

How's that working for you!

You think a law is going to stop it? You sir are being fooled.

Logic is trumped by emotion. It's about the feels. All day. Every day. At least these days it is.

I'm pretty sure the largest mass murders in US history were committed with fire, a Ryder truck, and a couple of airliners. Are we going to outlaw them, too?

Yep. AOC is working on killing and outlawing U-Haul trucks and airliners so those'll be covered soon. Commiefornia is working hard on the fire part. I'm sure AOC just overlooked banning fireplaces and fire pits since she's banning cows too. They'll probably just attach an amendment.

If I remember correctly, the maximum effective range of the 5.56 is 550 meters, with the maximum range of 3600 meters give or take depending on barrel length and the round.
Hogg boy needs to study up on his opponent.

The M16s maximum effective range is 550yds.

Not sure where you got yards. Your quote of mine agrees with your link.
The maximum effective range depends on the round and barrel length.

Edit: Definition of maximum effective range.
The maximum distance at which a weapon may be expected to be accurate and achieve the desired effect.
According to the Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms. US Department of Defense 2005.

Yup, that should have been meters and not yards .
