Tonight
Doubt that I’ll stay with it, but at least long enough to confirm my suspicions

preten2bSome of us will have to watch and see what kind of hit job it is, it won't be me, and it won't be tonight. NO ratings for you!

ASKSmithI won't give any spoilers.
It was not as bad as I was anticipating.

Dunno'. It was pretty bad.
In case you missed it, ARs shoot high-velocity boolits that kill people. AR = Bad.
At least that's what I got out of it, but I could only bring myself to watch the last few minutes or so.

ASKSmithThe majority of it dealt with tissue damage/trauma from the .223 round. How EMS and hospitals are adapting to current shooting "trends".
They did a ballistics gel comparison between a .223 and 9mm. They failed to mention anything about overpenetration between the two.
There are something like 11 million AR's registered in the US, and they are the weapon of choice for mass shootings. But failed to mention the mental state of the shooter who commit these crimes.

MitchbSCDid they pull a Dateline NBC and put flares on the magwell to make the rounds more killifyier?
They don't think it be like it is, but it do. November 04, 2018, 07:15 PM
gearhoundsMaybe they should do a story on big liberal cities with thousands and thousands of senseless murders committed by the indigenous population... or is that too outside the box for them?

motoboyOr any of the other upteen rife rounds that are out there.
They always make it sound like the .223/5.56 round is the most end-all, high power, killing projectile ever devised.

Well it is, isn't it? The Media once told me one bullet from an AR15 will bring down a commercial aircraft from 30,000 feet.

Yeah, they were pretty confident in 2016 as well...

CooksterDid they address the lethality of "the thing that goes up", and why it needs to be banned?

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

TMatsNever got to see it. Like I said in the OP, I wanted to at least gauge the tone of the story. At 6:00 I turned on the TV and saw that they were broadcasting the end of Denver’s football game—a game that was already over. This continued for a few minutes, then it quite abruptly went to commercial break. When they came back from the break 60 Minutes was on, and obviously, had been on for awhile. The story aired first, I guess. Never saw it.

sigmonkeyIf I am doing fine finish carpentry and driving brads, I may use a 6-8 oz hammer.
If I am breaking concrete I will use a 10 lb sledge or a jackhammer.
Proper tool for the job.
I am betting emergency room visits from whacking a thumb with an 8 oz hammer, vs a blow from a 10 lb sledge hammer are going to see different reactions from the ER staff.
