Original Note:
Tweet is satire/parody, although there’s no mention in authors Bio of parody account. For clarity, most AR-15’s (long rifles) use Remington .223 shells that are little over 2” in length. On an aside, long rifles accounted for 3% of gun killings in 2020, shotguns 1%. https://www.sportsmans.com/ammo-caliber-size-chart https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/
