Well, here's a nice fact for you, which I just seen on my national news.
Since only 1969 there has been more gun deaths in the US than all US military personnel in all wars, worldwide in all time ever, of course including the war of 1812, too.
1.5 million vs 1.4 mill.

"...which I just saw....."
My Dad has A mini 14 ranch rifle with a Vortex scope that will tack a nail at 200+ yards!!

I have a mini 14. Fun to shoot but definitely not a tack driver.
I was surprised as heck, but his was nailing everything I shot for.
What optics do you have on yours?

An Aimpoint red dot scope. Not great at long distance but zero eye relief so very good at shorter ranges.
I've got a Vortex red dot for my AR and agree its only good for short ranges.
Put some better glass on that mini 14 and you will be surprised how well it shoots!

My son refuses to allow me to put a scope on my mini-14. It's funny every time I talk about it he screams NOOOOO! Leave my gun alone!(It's his favorite)

How does one get said coupon?
http://www.gssfonline.com/
One year membership is $35 and they mail you the coupon after twelve months. The best deal is to join for two years for $60 and you get the first coupon in about a week and the second one a year later. There is a gun list price somewhere and only certain gun dealers will take them. Basically, you can buy one for almost the same discount that law enforcement/military veterans get. Gander Mountain was asking $550, Academy Sports wanted $499, some local shops were wanting $419-450.

how many of those us deaths were engaged in unlawful activity at the time.
Psst,
I know this isnt rocket science, but the real difference between the two rifles is the size of the magazine. Maybe you believe that people can survive an assault with a 50 or 75 round clip versus a 10 round clip, but that just goes to show the stupidity of gun owners.
The .223 round is designed to KILL HUMAN BEINGS and not for target practice. The .223 is military grade ammunition and isnt designed for sport shooting, target practice or what most white people do with rounds, shoot tin cans.
These rounds have on purpose and one purpose only. TO KILL HUMANS.
Dont be idiots.
The .223 Remington is a cartridge with almost the same external dimensions as the 5.56×45mm NATO military cartridge. The name is commonly pronounced either two-two-three or two-twenty-three. It is loaded with a 0.224-inch (5.7 mm) diameter jacketed bullet, with weights ranging from 40 to 90 grains (2.6 to 5.8 g),[citation needed] though the most common loading by far is 55 grains (3.6 g).[citation needed]
While the external case dimensions are very similar, the .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm differ in both maximum pressure and chamber shape. The maximum and mean pressures for some varieties of the 5.56 (different cartridge designations have different standards) exceed the SAAMI maximum for the .223 Remington, and the methods for measuring pressures differ between NATO and SAAMI.[2] The 5.56 chamber specification has also changed since its adoption, as the current military loading (NATO SS-109 or US M855) uses longer, heavier bullets than the original loading. This has resulted in a lengthening of the throat in the 5.56 chamber. Thus, while .223 Remington ammunition can be safely fired in a rifle chambered for 5.56×45mm NATO, firing 5.56 ammunition in a .223 Remington chamber may produce pressures in excess of even the 5.56 specifications due to the shorter throat.[3]
TOS.
