Pardon me for butting in here. I'm mostly a handgun shooter and that's the part of the forum where I typically hang out. But in the aftermath of Orlando I'm trying to gather facts and information so I can have it readily available to rebut/refute erroneous and false claims from the anti-gun side. I'm sure most of you have heard it before:
"AR-15's are only made for killing people. They are military weapons."
In my state, 5.56x45/.223 is not allowed for hunting deer. The reason, from what I've been told, is that it's not large or powerful enough to ensure quick, humane kills. So if it's not deadly enough to hunt deer, what makes it so deadly when aimed at humans?
My question is: What states allow the use of .223 for hunting deer, and what states do NOT allow it? For states where it's not allowed, if you know the reason I'd like that, as well.
Thank you.
