So I stopped by Rural King for some feed and of course strolled by the gun section. An RK guy behind the gun counter was talking to a customer, the customer asks "is RK gonna get rid of those ar15?". The RK guy says I hope so, nobody needs that military rifle and the customer agrees. I could not let that go, had to say something. As talk went on the customer (who claims to be a gun guy) kept saying their to dangerous, to high of a velocity. Claiming 223 fmj will penetrate level 3 body armour because their "high velocity". He knows, he claims because his daughter whos a cop and told him so. I flat out said shes wrong, he then claims its more powerful than that AK47 (pointing at one on the shelf) again because it's "higher velocity". Told him level 3 ba is approved uo to 30-06, again the AR15 is more powerful because its "higher veolcity". Told him of course "velocity" is not everything, and that a lower velocity crossbow could easily penetrate a kevlar vest and he looked at me like im crazy. Pretty sad if a gun guy knows nothing about ballistics, but law makers? Way worse
