“If you shoot a deer with an AR-15, you can’t eat it.

If you really want to ruin the meat, use a 9mm

A friend of mine use to use a .22mag (head shots). He was prohibited from owning/using firearms so he didn't want to make it too loud.
One shot kills every hunting season.

Call katie muth and ask her, she's the local specialist.

Suppose ol Joy took a 5.56 round to her 80 year old crocus? Would there be anything left to eat?
I think even an Ethiopian would pass on that... "No thanks, I'll stick with eating flies".

Seriously. The caliber is not relevant to what she said in any way.
"Bullet size" is not even something her pea brain can comprehend - they are all the same to her.

They think that AR15s are literally machineguns.

Obliviously they don't know the AR-15 can be had chambered in a variety of cartridges.

They must be following the gun knowledge of their President;

Well, I will attest that hi velocity/small caliber rounds will wreck a shoulder on a deer. The .223 and especially a .243 makes mush of most of the meat around the impact area.
Maybe Joy and her colleagues really do have a lot of years' experience doing deer drives and dragging that venison back to butcher. Later, they all sit around the fireplace in camp and tell sordid stories of past escapades while drinking from the keg and farting all night long.
That's my "View" on the subject.

My wife's 6.8spc did the job nicely for her last week in Alabama, perfectly standard hole and dropped a really big doe on the spot with zero meat loss. The next day my .308 AR10 and I got a respectable 8 point with a neck shot. I'd love to show their audience the pictures.

*while Hostin incorrectly stated that there were no mass shootings during the ban.*

Well you can*t expect anyone to know the name Columbine. It*s not like it was national news or the subject of a movie, documentary or anything like that.
