For clarification on AR-15 calibers: What Determines the Caliber of an AR-15? The AR-15 was initially designed to be used specifically with a 5.56x45mm cartridge. However, due to its popularity, there is now a variety of calibers. But what determines the caliber of an AR-15 depends on what you are aiming for with this powerful rifle. https://tacticalgunreview.com/what-determines-the-caliber-of-an-ar-15/ AR-15 calibers and cartridges are legion. Finding the right one is a matter of matching it to the job you want your rifle to perform.

Or you can just go online a buy one: The Diamondback DB15 is the AR-15 style rifle of your dreams. https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/firearms/tactical/ar-15-rifles/?https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/firearms/tactical/ar-15-rifles/=undefined&start=0&sz=36 Besides which you totally ignored the facts about the AR-15 .223 has dangerous high-velocity ammunition which has more gun powder and consequently far deadlier than a normal hand gun .22 or did you miss the links to the evidence in my post?

AR-15 Caliber Choices 300 Blackout The 300 Blackout name is perfect because it is heavier and larger than other calibers, this sturdy caliber is even designed for special operation forces. Due to the .30 caliber bore, the 300 Blackout offers a broader range of projectile choices and is perfect for hunting. This caliber is exceptional for hunting medium or large game such as deer and smaller bears. The 300 Blackout can be used with a suppressor and a short barrel for home defense, the short barrel allows for more effortless movement around your home, and the suppressor protects you and your family’s hearing, this caliber is not a good choice if you live in an apartment due to its high barrier penetration. https://tacticalgunreview.com/what-determines-the-caliber-of-an-ar-15/

In most cases, they are the equivalent of a Ferrari car body housing a 4 cylinder 90hp engine. All show and no go. Yet that's not what the experts say as evidenced through the links in my post and the awful wounds inflicted on those who have been killed of injured.

The AR-15 can also be used with higher caliber's not just .223 300 Blackout The 300 Blackout name is perfect because it is heavier and larger than other calibers. This sturdy caliber is even designed for special operation forces. Due to the .30 caliber bore, the 300 Blackout offers a broader range of projectile choices and is perfect for hunting. This caliber is exceptional for hunting medium or large game such as deer and smaller bears. There are others also. However even when used with the .223 it still does far more damage to tissue than a normal gun. The AR-15 .223 is dangerous high-velocity ammunition which has more gun powder. The bullet "Yaw" plays a big factor in the damage once it enters tissue, spinning or even exploding/fragmenting causing multiple wounds. This guy is a fire arms trainer from Canada and gives a graphic description of what those rounds can do, here's a brief snippet but more in the video: "He pointed out that unlike rounds fired from handguns, the “.223 travels really, really fast, and that creates some problems should you get hit with it.” For example, he said the bullet produces a “little shockwave,” which leads to a “temporary stretch cavity.” If the bullet strikes a thigh, for example, “it’s going to suck a bunch of air in there.” This leads to “massive tissue disruption and tissue death” because “your skin has been pulled apart and it tears, and it collapses back together again.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bvuAqU1wm4 Another expert when using the AR-15 "There's going to be a lot more damage to the tissues, both bones, organs, whatever gets kind of even near this bullet path. The bones aren't going to just break, they're going to shatter. Organs aren't just going to tear or have bruises on them, they're going to be, parts of them are going to be destroyed." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ar-15-mass-shootings-60-minutes-2022-05-29/

I was wondering why this was taking so long but I guess this is the reason, from the OP link: "The district attorney who had been leading the state case, Yvonne Rosales, resigned in November over accusations of incompetence involving hundreds of cases in El Paso and slowing down the case against Crusius."

"President Biden directed that all sensitive sites were protected from espionage, “which was straightforward because we could track the path of the balloon and ensure no sensitive activities or unencrypted communications would be conducted in its vicinity,” Chinese balloon part of vast aerial surveillance program, U.S. says On Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman led a briefing on China’s balloon espionage for some 150 people from about 40 embassies, said a senior administration official familiar with the matter, the department has also sent to every U.S. Embassy a “detailed information” on the espionage that can be shared with allies and partners. Separately, U.S. officials have begun to share specifics with officials in countries such as Japan whose military facilities were targeted by Beijing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/02/07/china-spy-balloon-intelligence/ https://archive.ph/1VOtB

Biden speech takeaways: More conciliation than conflict Biden’s speech almost defiantly ignored the bitter divisions between Republicans and Democrats and his own low standing with the public. He returned repeatedly to common ground, making the case that both parties can back U.S. factories, new businesses being formed and the funding of 20,000 infrastructure projects. When Biden hit each of these themes, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy politely clapped, evening standing to applaud at one point. https://apnews.com/article/state-of-the-union-biden-speech-takeaways-2023-7e4aaa861e13f87c499dca512037cdbe

Only that wasn't a response, it was given hours before Biden's speech. Jumping the gun ever so slightly. "Hours before the speech, McConnell took to the Senate floor to pop the balloon on Biden’s big night"

It doesn't take much to get the rumour mill going, a question, a remark, even if there's no truth in it. Look how it started when Elon made a single tweet: "There is a tiny possibility there may be more to the story than meets the eye".............. That's how it works and Trump knows it.

Well Trump's got a second chance now although he'll probably decline this one too. Biden admin offers to brief Trump officials on past Chinese spy balloon incursions The Biden administration is willing to brief former Trump officials on newly discovered intelligence that China sent spy balloons into U.S. airspace during their time in charge. The offer, described by senior Biden administration officials on Sunday night, comes as former President Donald Trump and senior members of his national security team say they were never briefed on such an incursion by a Beijing-sent aircraft. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/05/trump-officials-deny-chinese-spy-balloons-00081257

Landed where? It seems the experts are not as reckless as you.

How many bullets would it have taken? Where would it have travelled to before it eventually landed? Maybe you should leave it to the experts and the risk assessments they did through experience. 1000 Rounds Fired, Why Canada Could Not Shoot Down This ‘Research Balloon’ Using Best Of Fighter Jets 25 Years Ago? “We put some things on station in the event that a decision was made to bring this down while it was over Montana,” the official said. “We wanted to make sure…to empty out the airspace around that potential area. But even with those protective measures taken—and it was the judgment of our military commanders—that didn’t drive the risk down low enough, so we didn’t take the shot.” https://time.com/6252551/chinese-weather-balloon-shoot-down/

Fact #2 : Chinese Balloon Was Not A Weather Balloon Weather balloons are common – thousands are launched daily across the world to collect information on the temperature, wind and moisture in the upper atmosphere. Weather balloons are not very large – expanding from 6 feet (1.8 metres) to 20 feet (6 metres) in diameter as they rise in altitude. Their payloads are also small, consisting of a small box with a few sensors. The Chinese weather balloon that the US Air Force just shot down is not only much larger at around 90 feet (27.5 metres) wide, it also has a very large payload that includes large solar panels, and even propellers to control its movement. https://www.techarp.com/military/us-chinese-spy-balloon-missile/

According to these reports even China banned Russia's Boeing from their airspace. China Bans Stolen Russian Planes from Entering its Airspace China’s civil aviation authority has banned from its airspace Airbuses and Boeings which Russia has stolen from international lessors shortly after it invaded Ukraine back in February. https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/16397-china-bans-stolen-russian-planes-from-entering-its-airspace Russian Airbus and Boeing aircraft banned from Chinese airspace – reports Additionally, in March and May Russian aviation laws were overhauled, getting rid of numerous safety regulations relating to maintenance and certification. With sanctions also affecting maintenance and parts of non-Russian-made aircraft, Russian airlines are facing an upcoming struggle to keep the aircraft airworthy. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/31154-china-blocks-russian-airbus-boeing-aircraft

Too many youtube gamers having played their shoot em up games, now turned war experts, flogging their videos for the masses, seems to be more lucrative for them. Listen to the real experts and the facts without the need for an hour long video "The story Russia tells the world about its illegal war is vastly different to the reality on the ground. Putin may say the ‘special military operation’ has gained positive momentum, but the heavy losses sustained by his forces on the battlefield tell a different story."

A suspected Chinese surveillance balloon shot down off the US coast was about 200 ft (60m) tall and carrying an airliner-sized load, officials say. At a briefing on Monday, a US defence official said the size and make-up of the object informed the decision not to shoot it down while it was over land. "Picture large debris weighing hundreds if not thousands of pounds falling out of the sky," Gen Glen VanHerck said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64548140

This has been pointed out to you already, it is a combination of wind and its own maneuverability Chinese spy balloon changes course, floating over ... - Reuters The disclosure about the spy balloon's maneuverability directly challenges China's assertion that the balloon was merely a civilian airship https://www.reuters.com/world/us/chinese-spy-balloon-changes-course-floating-over-central-united-states-pentagon-2023-02-03/

and likely did not even enter US airspace at all. Nothing like a collapsing narrative! If you read your own link you posted earlier, it was later confirmed they did enter US airspace. Florida and Texas

Whether all those claims are true or not, it has no bearing on this case in which he was convicted and got 16 years by a UK court for sexually abusing 3 UK school children aged between 8 - 13 years. There is no suggestion or evidence that the parents facilitated.

Putting politics and the blame game aside, Carl Bildt Co-Chair European Council has a good point. "This Chinese balloon was a rather massive piece of engineering. It’s amazing that some of these have been circling the globe for years without attracting more attention. Beijing has some questions to answer." https://twitter.com/carlbildt/status/1622570260279820288

Lets see where this second balloon they are tracking goes. The Chinese spokeswoman just made a statement on it: She said: "As for the balloon in Latin America's sky, we have learned and verified that the relevant unmanned airship is from China. It is of civilian usage and is used for flight tests. "Affected by weather and due to limited self-control ability, the airship severely deviated from its set route and entered the space of Latin America and the Caribbean by accident." https://news.sky.com/story/spy-balloon-spotted-over-latin-america-is-for-civilian-usage-china-says-12804506
